Art teacher John Aziz and his.,pupils
were looking for a home outside the
school where the mural might com-
municate their interest in art to the
general public. Ron Eddy's hospitali-
y and interest resulted in obtaining
in ideal location.
Parkview School's parents'
association shared with Middlesex
County Council the $450 cost of hav-
ing the mural properly mounted.
framed and protectively covered. The
work is now on permanent display in
the main corridor of the County
Building.
Currently. five additional pieces of
framed and glassed pupil art work
from a number of County schools are
on display. These pieces come from
each of five divisions on the education
system: primary kindergarten to
grade 3 ►. junior ( grades 4 to 6), in-
termediate (grades 7 and 8), in-
termediate (grades 9 and 10), and
senior ( grades 11 to 13 ). The display
will be changed two or three times a
year.
Consultant John Battersby em-
phasizes that each piece chosen to
hang at the County Building
represents good thinking. good con-
trol of materials. and is an excellent
example of quality work done by a
pupil in a particular age group.
According to tour guide Mark
Smith. over 3000 people have toured
the building since the display opened
in December. He says that many
visitors are impressed with the high
quality of the work considering the
,�,,,, f �i►i�l r ages of the young artists.
Visual Arts Consultant John Bat-
tersby says, "It is fitting that in the
County Building the general public
has an opportunity to see the work
that County students are doing. It is
important for parents to be aware of
the excellent work being done; and it
is good for the young people to receive
recognition of their creative efforts.
I am most appreciative of the
hospitality and interest accorded by
County Administrator Ron Eddy."

asked County. Administrator Ron Ed-
