Manor Special School - Mosaic and Friendship Tree

January and February 2011
Two visits to the school for separate projects resulted in excellent and long lasting pieces of artwork. The first was a mosaic based upon the school's logo and the second a wooden Friendship Tree with each child painting a leaf. The mosaic was for the school entrance hall and the tree for outside and will be planted with flowers at the base.
