Evergreen Avenue Elementary Mosaic Mural Project

Final Touches

With all the tiles installed, a large amount of grouting needed to be accomplished

Emily, Jess Perlitz and the guys from the Restorative Justice Program completed the grouting of the water.

Emily weighing the paint mixtures for the sky

The sky section needed to be painted in. Jenn and Emily mixed 8 blues to transition from day to night across the wall. Color added to each mixture was weighed so it could be scaled up to the quantity we needed. It can also be re-mixed as a recipe if needed in the future.

Joe Palimeno of Ledden Palimeno is an alum of Evergreen, and donated his company's landscaping services

 Alan Koch created a landscape design for the project. Since the mural image connects to the school's pathway and extends it in space, the landscaping elements are included in the image as well.

The image continues over the exit doors. A mural technique was used to create the illusion of tile.
