Name:

Common Nickname: The Creature Tiles, Animal Tiles

Artists: Mr.Mattson, Ms.Cole, and students from 1st through 6th grade

Medium: Clay and paint

Location: As you are walking into the JK/SK atrium, they will are outside on the right wall

How did it come to be at Parker: When the new little school was being built they wanted to decorate the walls, so they were commissioned

History: The tiles were made and put into the wall in 1999, there was some trouble making them because at the time no one in the Chicagoland area could make tiles big enough, so Ms.Cole made the tiles in the school and had them fired at Lillstreet, a local ceramics studio.
