Westgate School Hallway
A PTA sponsored project. A stair and ramp area had been painted white.
-- Request: Create a wall, add flowers and trees. Create something that 5th grade students could autograph or sign before moving on to Middle School. Completed during the summer months.
-- Result: A "stone" wall has school supplies hidden amongst the mortar. A pillar became the trunk of a tree and branches and leaves extended onto the ceiling. The floor to ceiling wall is a landscape looking off into the mountains on the horizon. An inviting path leads the viewer to this new land. The lower ramp runs along the stone wall. On its floor wall edges are splashes of water. Yes, you are walking in the middle of a stream that flows under an arched "bridge". On an opposite wall is a big tree with sweeping branches and lots of leaves. The fifth graders choose a place on the trunk or branches to "carve" their initials. (They sign the tree with black marker).
