What an awesome week we had at Brooks Elementary! We gave these kids a difficult task and they rose to the occasion. The fifth graders painted a mural featuring three of Raleigh’s museums. On the left is the art museum, the science museum is represented in the middle, and the history museum is on the right. The Raleigh downtown skyline behind it. Along with painting the mural background, some students worked on individual special projects that were cut out and glued into the mural. These included the paintings in the art museum (which were based on paintings and sculptures from the NCMA’s permanent collection), self portraits as museum visitors, and animals. We are so pleased with how well everyone did! Special thanks to art teacher Olivia Moschberger and artist as well as parent volunteer Liz Esser for all of the help!
