Smithville Residency day 6

bob
It's only day 6, but the work is buzzing right along! Today was very exciting. Together, the students and I mapped out a full scale drawing of the Labyrinth.It will be 12 X12 foot square. We figured out that we will need approximately 104 stepping stone tiles that mark the path(see below for a model image).Students are still working on drawings for these tiles in their sketchbooks. The covers for the sketch book is a color representation of the labyrinth. Each student designed their own. They are all very different and I hope to use some of their ideas in the finished mosaic.

Next week we will be having a guest artist who will demonstrate how to make a relief tile. I will be photographing and posting another entry then.Please check back and see our progress!
