Are you interested in projects that require scaffolding? yes
Type of projects you prefer: Youth art education,Commercial businesses,Community mural projects,Residential,Indoor,Outdoor
Personal Statement:
Transform that dull, boring wall into a colorful
and educational work of art! Mosaics are a
metaphor; they function as a testament to the
importance of teamwork, good decision making and
positive self expression. Every piece has its
place and, like every participant involved, every
piece has its importance. Combining mathematics,
science and history, mosaic murals draw on two
thousand years of culture and tradition to tell
the stories of its creators. The process of
brainstorming, researching, synthesizing and
communicating knowledge through visual imagery is
a powerful way to teach and reinforce any
subject. Mosaics are inclusive, allowing all
ages and abilities to contribute, empowering all
participants to transform their ideas, vision and
hard work into a lasting reminder of the learning
process and a teaching tool for years to come.
