Rossi School Arts Integration Mosaic


This school year I have the pleasure to be in residence at Rossi School in Vineland NJ. I am working with science, social studies, and language arts teachers in an arts integration residency that will result in a large mosaic mural. The theme is “What will you leave behind.”? The central image of the mosaic will be a large tree with leaves that contain messages from last years graduating class along with this years graduating class. Students in language arts created word clouds with positive messages. In science, we created tiles that reflect the surrounding landscape/ecosystem. Social studies students learned about the history of the art form. Its a big wall. Here is what we have so far.
