Mosaic 101 - The Direct Method

Visiting local artist, Christine Schilling, introduces Glendale Art and Biology students to the basics of the mosaic process. 

Students have been drafting designs for the 10 x 88 foot mural for over a week. 

The drafting process began with individual brain storming (sketches), then students researched images such as native Missouri plants, wildlife, and organisms to develop a more concise and refined design. Finally, students collaborated in groups and created a larger scale mural design incorporating everyone's images that relate to Missouri wildlife and ecosystems.
