Ask Edgewood Elementary School students how long it takes to create the Earth, and they may tell you a couple of months. That’s because they did it. Well, not the whole world, but a 30-square-foot mosaic mural of Earth. “This map is not to scale!” fifth-graders Jack Sigler and Catelynn Murphy shouted in unison, pointing to the bottom of the mosaic where the same words are carved into yellow ceramic clay. More than 100 third- and fourth-grade students created the mosaic last spring as an art class project. Local artist Amanda Pellerin, who works for Young Audiences/Arts for Learning, an arts education nonprofit organization, helped the children bring their project to fruition. The mural was unveiled last week on back-to-school night.
