MOSAIC PROJECTS 2010
The MOSAIC PROJECT debuted in 2009 at the St. Charles Fine Art Show with Norton Creek Elementary and Haines Junior High creating beautiful works of art for their schools. The St. Charles Fine Art Show Committee and the Downtown St. Charles Partnership welcomed three St. Charles area schools to the second MOSAIC PROJECT in 2010: Fox Ridge Elementary, Wasco Elementary and St. Charles East High School. Their students and faculty created beautiful mosaic designs which will be displayed in their schools for everyone to appreciate for many years to come. “We want students to love art and make it a part of their life” said Elizabeth Bellaver, co-chair of the mosaic initiative. She enthusiastically encouraged students to become “art advocates” by using their talents and attending community events such as the St. Charles Fine Art Show.
All were invited to come and watch this “hands-on” project as the students adhered tiles and ceramic pieces to their original mosaic designs all day Saturday and Sunday.
