Blackhawk School District, Highland Middle School, so long until next time!




Stroke and Coat was applied to the tessera and the students practiced good craftsmanship
by applying 3 coats to the top only.
It was meticulous work but worth every bit of the effort.
Choices choices!
There were a whole lot of tiles made- each one represented
either an abstract self portrait or the student's initials
Before cleaning off the grout-ick!
Great Use of Complementary Colors Z. C.!


   
Hard work and Happy Faces!
Hmm.. blue man?
Dancing colors.

There were lots of creative solutions for hanging the tiles!
Ms. Kunkle amd Mrs. Keck stayed late on the last day so the students
could see their works of art in the display cases
on the next day of school!

Micography and extreme Watercolor!
