IOWA LANDSCAPE MOSAIC MURAL UNVEILED AT
EISENHOWER Fifth grade students at Eisenhower
Elementary will unveil a mosaic mural featuring an
Iowa landscape scene during a special ceremony on
Thursday, June 2, at 7 p.m. The students have been
working under the direction of art teacher Stacey
Houk and have had the help and support of both
school staff and parents during this project. Part
of a study of Iowa regional artist Grant Wood, the
mosaic is 6’ x 8’ and incorporates several elements
of student artwork, including water color paintings,
cooper tooling and foam board prints. The mosaic is
made up of broken tile and dishes. The Eisenhower
PTA has helped finance the project. Other student
artwork will also be on display that evening.
