Students install
Community Tiles
From Julie Brewer
“Mine is for a green earth,” said one student. “Mine is for treating
other people nice,” said another. Greenville middle school students
show visitor Bob Robinson the tiles their and other classes have been
working on. They are glazed tiles of different designs, each expressing
in artform their thoughts for the new school.
Grace Barhorst writes “I wish that everyone could have a friend. I show
friendship in my image because branches growing together is like
friends holding hands, which represents friendship,” she added.
“My students from both semesters have been working on a clay tile
project illustrating their hopes and dreams for our new school,” said
GCSD Art Teacher, Julie Brewer. The tiles have been installed by her
fifth and sixth grade students into the courtyard on the Middle School
side of the building.
The tiles were inspired by the famous clay mosaics of Henri Matisse and
local Cincinnati artist, Sarah Horn. Students discussed the importance
of the new school building and wishes they might have for it to be a
great place for a long time to come.
