Faces+Mosaic

Name of the Piece: Face Tiles.

Artist: Students and teachers.

Who came up with the idea? Alexa Winner, a senior At Francis Parker school, came up with the idea because she didn't like that the old tiles were coming down due to construction and renovations. She believed that making the tiles was a tradition at Parker and that it represented one of Parker's core values. She had some people from various grades make a tile self portrait, including teachers, and hung them up on the fourth floor.

Materials: Acrylic and tiles.
