The major art creation we planned to create would be a mural with three-dimensional elements.

To start, we chose a common natural cycle, the changing of the seasons. We explored the pieces to the right (click on any image to launch a slide show) and discussed parts we liked, parts we could do without, and artistic ideas we wanted to incorporate into our own mural.
