Giraffe Mosaic
The Art Club recently finished a mosaic of our school mascot, the giraffe. The mosaic was installed on the wall across from the main office.
We began the mosaic by making drawings of giraffes and choosing one to enlarge an draw on a board. Students glazed tiles that were fired in the kiln. The tiles were put in a burlap bag and broken with a hammer and the pieces were then put together on the board, like a puzzle to create the giraffe. Students pushed grout into the cracks and then cleaned the tiles with sponges. The art club is very proud of the work they did.
