Spanish Tile Wall Art

This Spanish tile project was a fun cultural project that the students really loved! The tiles are school colors. 
Spanish tile will never go out of style here in South Florida.

I designed the middle piece and rewarded hard workers by letting them color the piece.
I was impressed by the interesting designs, & focus of the students!
Students can't wait to order tiles for our wall with the Art/Spanish advocacy program.
I enjoyed seeing the staff get involved and the School spirit during this creative process.          Teachers and our nurse were a huge help to set this project up and they were enthusiastic to help with this advocacy project.THANK YOU!!

Fairchild Gardens Miami

If you are looking for a different activity this weekend check out Miami's Fairchild Gardens. I highly recommend spending a day at the gardens! 

http://www.fairchildgarden.org/

Artists this is a wonderful place to gather reference photos and be inspired! Victor and I took the tram tour had lunch then walked all day snapping photos along the way.

This garden is the nicest we have seen!

Victor insisted on taking this picture, this is huge! 
Everywhere you look there is amazing scenery
I have never seen this before! 

This looks like the garden of Eden! 
Victor checking out the fruit! 
These were growing on sides of trees
paradise?
Victor said this is a hula tree.

This one looks fake!
The garden is really large so there are no crowds to fight and always something to see! Victor keeps talking about returning for the mango festival... Ahhh you can't separate this indian from his mangos!
