Full School Residency:
Resident: Melissa Cole
Project: Exterior Mosaic Mural
Students worked under the guidance of Spokane based artist Melissa Cole to create a vibrant exterior mural of mosaics and paint on the East Wall of the school. The mural depicts local flora and fauna. Each of the 300 students in the school created mosaic pieces that were then integrated into the images they painted on the wall. The project will beautify the school and neighboring community for many years to come.

Project: Collaborative Canvas Painting "Miro" style
