Art in the Shop: Edison High School Community Art
Malcom has been working with 20 students from Ms. H's Drawing/Painting 2 class to create a community art piece. The class sketched out ideas and is working on the skills needed to bring the project to fruition. Students have been practicing torch work, making molds for casting, assembling mosaics, and test firing frit tiles. We're just over halfway though this 6-week project.
