Name Tiles

Posted by slegros in Uncategorized | Comments Off

Influenced by the work of Islamic and Italian artists, the students created tiles based on the lines and shapes in their names.

The students were inspired by the trompe l’oeil work of Mario Penati. Even the shadows were painted on this flat wall!
