Buri Buri Elementary School, South San Francisco 2011

This 100 tile mural was created by 4 classes of second graders. Each class was given the assignment to make a drawing of one of the four seasons. They then transfered the drawings onto commercial tiles, painted them with 3 coats of color and the result is this fantastic 4 foot high by 8.5 foot long mural. It hangs along the same walkway as the mural made the previous year.

The teachers requested a geometric mural with each grade taking on a different aspect of geometry - symmetry, figure ground reversal, tessellation, polygons. All the grades in the school participated. At first, it was difficult for some of the student to understand that non-representational shapes could be art. The final result is stunning and no one needed to be convinced of that. It can be easily seen from the 12th Ave side of the school. It consists of 120 6 inch square tiles. Not counting the frame, the mural measures 5 feet high and 6 feet long.
