17. Mosaic Fountain by the 4th Grade Class
Value: Priceless
Throughout the Iberian peninsula the courtyard is a constant part of architecture, and every courtyard is completed with a fountain. The fountain contributes to cooling (or the sense of cooling) and suggests the abundance of water which is the source of food, vegetation, and life. Dominant in Iberia decorative art is the influence of Northern Africa and Islamic art in the form of mosaic. The 4th grade class has created a fountain that employs mosaic as its decorative focus. Each student has designed and affixed small tiles to a screen that were then incorporated into the overall object. The fanciful spout refers to the sea that surrounds Iberia on 3 sides.
A special thank you to Patricia Wall and Diane Waters.
