Nearly 50 fifth-grade students in the Parkway Elementary School Art Club, under the direction of art teacher Franceska Baer, have created a beautiful mural composed of 144 painted and glazed tiles. The mural ties in with the school’s character education program and is entitled, “Have You Filled a Bucket Today?”
Each student in the club was assigned more than one tile to paint. Once completed, the mural was assembled and glazed by Ms. Baer.
With the goal of creating a mural every year, this is the second mural project that the Parkway Art Club has completed. Last year, the students created a tile mural welcoming all to their school, complete with mascot – the Parkway Bear. Next year’s project is in the discussion phase, and different media are being examined.
Special thanks are extended to Parkway’s custodial staff for hanging the mural, which is located in the 300 wing.
