Progress on Honduran Heritage Village


Grade 8A and grade 9 students started work on the storage containers to transform them with Faux Finish techniques to resemble traditional village huts. Some of their “artists concepts” are on display in the reception area of the administration building. We are using oil paint glazes with rags to get the effect of the adobe walls.

Students studied the pictures and drawings in the book, Arquitectura de los grupos etnicos de Honduras by Milady Salinas to get ideas and to check for authenticity. Their challenge was to draw the two containers in two point perspective.

Look for the “Caution Students at Work” sign and watch our progress.
