Mixed media mosaic, stained glass and hand made ceramics. 

Ali Mirsky was given complete freedom to let her imagination run wild with this fun mosaic mural that serves to welcome all those that may enter Terra Centre Elementary School. Ali worked with all 600 elementary school students to explore the idea of pollination, metamorphosis and weather through the creation of hundreds of handmade ceramic pieces that are installed all throughout the entrance and mosaics of flowers and tigers, which is  the school mascot. Not only does this project foster creativity and imagination among the students, but it also provides an opportunity for them to learn about the natural world and its interconnectedness.
