This is a sneak peek at the mosaic mural that the high school's PTSA commissioned at the end of the school year in May, as a school gift, to celebrate and commemorate the 100 years of our local high school. It was created over the summer by a wonderful local artist, Lynde Mott. The portion that the PTSA commissioned wouldn't have purchased even half of this size of a piece, but Lynde donated much more of her time and resources to create a stunning, colorful landscape of the "G" mountain that sits above the site of the school. The cabinetmaking/wood working teacher is building a framework for it and the piece will soon hang in the front hall between the finance office and the attendance office.
I know it is hard to see here, but the colors are bright and engaging. And uses shapes, colors and patterns found in nature. It is coated in an epoxy so the kids can handle it and not hurt it. It is light and airy and uplifting.
I'm not an artist, by any stretch of the imagination, but I really like this piece. When they talked about and voted on commissioning a mosaic, I wasn't even sure what it might look like. I had no vision for it, myself. I am sure grateful for talents that others use to bless me. This isn't something that I could envision or create, but I can appreciate it and enjoy it. And I can't wait to get it up and then unveil it to the students and the community.
