Media: Tempera Paint on Wood, sealed with clear acrylic
Graduating 5th grade classes designed their fish. Sherril Vandenberg, the Art Teacher, and Don Schinke, the North High Woodworking Teacher cut their designs out of wood. The students then painted their fish and they were added to many of the “aquariums” throughout the walls and entrances of Washington Elementary. Many 5th grade classes participated in creating this mural. Each graduating student left a part of themselves for students and families to enjoy for future years. These walls were disassembled and reconfigured for the Children’s Room of the Mead Public Library, with the help of Sherril Vandenberg, Kristine and Steven Wineland.
Presented to the Mead Public Library from the 5th grade students of Washington Elementary and the Sheboygan Area School District, July 2014. Washington Elementary closed June 2013.
