Couch Middle School Media Center

Bringing the outside in at Couch Middle School!

The end of this beautiful Media Center has three wonderful picture windows that look out to distant trees. Now the surrounding wall is filled with matching blue skies and three large trees filled with leaves. No ordinary leaves however...these hold the names of students, faculty, and staff who purchased a leaf and helped fund this project!

 Along the side wall of the media center, there are six windows above eye-level bookcases.  A bit of character was added to the windows with the look of exposed brick and some old world stucco, topped off with shutters.

The addition of this window behind the circulation desk helped tie a third wall

of the Media Center into the theme of the rest of the room. It also is warm and inviting

for those working in and utilizing the Media Center at Couch Middle School!

Riverside Elementary Memorial Mural

 This Mural was painted in memory of Brandon, a Riverside Elem. student who passed away. It is in the special needs hallway, and flanks the door that leads to a special reading room at the rear of the Media Center.  It depicts items meant to remind students, faculty, and staff of this remarkable young man.

The rabbit belongs to one of Riverside's staff members, and is a welcome visitor in the special needs department!

 This is Brandon Bear. The actual build-a-bear serves as a memorial to Brandon in his former classroom.

 Go R.E.S...Riverside Rockets!

The quilt is one which is used in Brandon's former special needs room. The books are some of his, and his family members' favorites.

This is Corduroy! He is a favorite in the classroom.

Commissioned canvass work

36x48 Acrylic on canvass

 

This work was done in honor of a preschool child, Piper, who passed away. It hangs over the door of her classroom.

Riverside Elementary Memorial Mural

I was honored to paint this mural in memory of Mrs. faye, a teacher who had passed away. Depicted are scenes reminding students and co-workers of her life. The signs show places where she had lived, and the scene is reminicent of South Georgia where she was raised. Her favorite books rest on the bench with her reading glasses, while her beach bag and flip flops sit to the side.

 





Woodward Mill Media Center

This is the scene that welcomes you when you enter
The Woodward Mill Media Center.
It is the original Woodward Mill, located several
miles NE on Ivy Creek, as it appears today.
The Mill as it stood as a working mill is
depicted on the foyer wall just outside these doors.

Don't miss our coyote friend hiding in the woods.

The Media Center painting is approximately 6000 square feet in
surface area, minus a multitude of doors, windows, fire alarms,
electrical outlets, signage, book shelves, and televisions!

(fun to paint around!)

Welcome to our TREE HOUSE!
Wouldn't you like to climb that
rope ladder with your favorite book!

From the porch of that tree house, you could spot lots of critters!

Another Woodward Mill Cub...just hanging around!
The Fire Pull doubles as a "See Rock City" bird house.

You can almost hear the cascading waters of the waterfall!
This lives in the back corner of the library, and can be seen
from the entrance on the far side of the massive room.

If you're ever in the area, feel free to stop by for a look.
The staff at Woodward Mill is wonderful, and they'll
be happy to show you their "home" in the woods!

Please continue to older posts to find the first
half of the Media Center, completed in 2011!
