The Jeffers Hill Elementary School mosaic mural featuring recycled materials and found objects will be dedicated between 4 and 6 p.m. Monday for Earth Week 2007.
Fourth- and fifth-grade art students created the 100-square-foot mural with the help of artist-in-residence Tara Holl and art teacher Mark Luce during January.
The project reflects the theme selected by the students: the goodness of the garden and the earth.
Holl explained the nature of mosaics as an art form and her work as a professional artist and educator to the entire student body. Students were challenged to bring in recycled materials, and Capitol Tile & Marble Company and Columbia Tile and Marble donated their tile discards for the project.
