Mosaic and Tile Arts
Mosaic and Tile Arts
This residency can take a variety of routes that result in the creation of a site-specific mural, a personalized art piece for an individual or an overall deeper understanding of a specific mosaic art technique. Students can expect to be challenged creatively, aesthetically and intellectually. Much of the process depends on groups working together cooperatively, allowing for each person to contribute to a larger common goal. Over the past 25 years Laura Lyn Stern has guided many student groups through the process of creating meaningful permanent murals throughout their campus buildings and grounds. As an artist and teacher, she brings a wealth of experience with expressing collective goals, mastering materials and perfecting processes. A residency creating an on-site permanent mosaic mural will go through a series of stages from concept design to creating the mosaic parts, assembling the parts and then final installation. Some aspects of the mural will be determined prior to starting, such as the specific installation site, the general theme and materials to be used in the mural. Student input into design specifics will be encouraged as will their participation in all active processes involved.Each residency experience will by nature be unique and will ideally reflect the partner community.
