Project Description
Groundswell worked with elementary school students at PS 503 to create a mosaic to transform the school’s entrance and make it more inviting. The Groundswell team covered the outside and inside of the entrance’s glass brick windows, successfully beautifying the space for all who enter. Mosaic details were also installed on the door exteriors as colorful accents. The unifying theme of the mosaic is the lullaby “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” In the design, three figures reach upward to a bright night sky, as if to grasp at the stars. The figures’ long limbs reach like tree branches swaying in the wind. An additional mosaic created during a PS 503 Family Fun Night beautified another part of the school. A final mural entitled “Career Visions” was created through this partnership and celebrates the many future opportunities that await the students when they complete their schooling.
