Art Installation on the Upper Campus

Each year, students in Evey Albert’s art class make their own ceramic tiles, and the subject matter changes each year. The current seventh grade art students chose a vegetable, fruit, or flowering plant from the RCS Garden as this year’s “model.” The installation of their tiles took place today when, with the aid of maps, they set off into the garden to find the plant that matched their personally designed tile. After stringing their tiles with picture hanging wire, some students grabbed hammers and nails and others were armed only with their imagination as they found ways to attach their plant tiles as closely as possible to the live plants they matched. There were teachers on hand to help the students find their plants and attach their tiles, as well as the volunteers who spend numerous hours tending the RCS garden. After the installation, the students were treated to refreshments provided by the garden volunteers. For more information about the RCS garden, please click HERE.
