The finished mosaics were displayed for our school community, and students, staff, and families voted for the pieces that best demonstrated creativity, image clarity, and overall craftsmanship. After carefully reviewing the community votes, we are excited to announce the winners:

🥇 1st Place

A vibrant and beautifully crafted mosaic featuring colorful fish, strong use of spacing, and excellent color harmony.

🥈 2nd Place
Thais Collazo – “Hummingbird”
An intricate and creative design that uses carefully arranged shapes to create a vivid and recognizable image.

🥉 3rd Place
Arabella Gonzalez – “The Fox”
A visually striking mosaic with strong structure, bold color transitions, and effective use of triangular shapes.

We are incredibly proud of all our students for their creativity, effort, and dedication throughout this unit. Thank you to everyone in our school community who participated in the voting process and supported our visual arts program!
