Chris Zonta has developed a
MOSAIC ART PROGRAM designed for K-8 students and is available as an
Artist-In-Residence for short
or long term projects or workshops at schools, park districts, libraries or
camps. Students learn about the history,
materials, tools and techniques used in mosaic art as they make their own
mosaic art works. The creation of a large,
permanent
MOSAIC MURAL
is an option for school and other public environments.
The
MOSAIC ART PROGRAM
integrates
Illinois Learning Standards for the
Fine Arts and can be enjoyed by
all students including special needs children. Community
art projects strengthen social bonds and create a sense of shared meaning
and identity. The incredible murals that result from the work of young
artists enlivens the educational environment for the whole school community!
Working this program in Chicago area schools has been such a joy for me these last 5
years - the enthusiasm that children have for creating art is contagious!
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
The program is flexible and created to fit
your school vision, budget and schedule. The size, scope and theme
are chosen by you. Grants are available. My
resume, recommendations, sample proposal and program overview are available at your school's request.
I am available for consultation at your school or building to discuss site
options and program details.

"Working on the Copeland
Manor 50th Anniversary Mosaic Mural was such a gratifying experience.
The enthusiasm and interest exceeded our expectations. Making a giant
mosaic is the ultimate communal art form. Chris Zonta is not only
talented, but has a completely engaging teaching style, communicating
with the children in such a calm, patient and supportive way. We all
learned so much about mosaics and are truly amazed at the outcome.
The mural makes our school's entryway absolutely shine! "

Copeland Elementary School Cultural Arts Coordinator
