This year's 4th grade tile project is in the theme of artist, Laurel Burch. Burch created various works of art in different medias. She started by making her own jewelry out of recycled materials such as metals, which began her artistic career. Later in life she translated her visions of “fantastic felines,” mythical animals, colorful blossoms, butterflies, moons, hearts and imagined people, among myriad other imaginings, into colorful enamel jewelry, paintings, T-shirts, scarves, ceramics and tote bags, which were sold by thousands of stores. Her unique bold patterned cats in many colors is what she is most known for.
Mrs Moyer's 4th grade art students created animals with patterns, similar to Burch's style.
Here are some example before they were fired. The colors will be vibrant once they are fired.
These will be on display at the upcoming Memorial Arts Festival and Band Concert, Monday June 3rd, 6:00-8:00pm.

“I live within the vivid colors of my imagination ... soaring with rainbow feathered birds, racing the desert winds on horseback, wrapped in ancient tribal jewels, dancing with mythical tigers in steamy jungles.”
