"Tile Art""Continents"

Staff at the Don Moyer's Boys and Girls Club have worked with students over the years to produce four different artistic projects. Artists are area youth from Champaign, Urbana, and Rantoul Illinois. Three works are
exhibited at the club. Another is exhibited at the Douglass Center. Upon entering Don Moyer's Club, the ceiling or "Tile art" is visible. Members paint tiles that reflect a favorite pet, animal, activity, or even their names.
Each year, more tiles are painted, filling the corridor of the main hallway club members frequent. "Continents" is another project found directly to the right before entering the gymnasium. Art therapist Morris Mosley and club members produced this wall art in 2006 according to staff members. Continents are made from wood and decorated with various multi-colored cloths, painted versions of masks, a pencil drawing of a
Trojan horse, animals, fish, and pottery. Current staff at the Boys and Girls club are not certain as to who the artists of the large mural (found in the gymnasium) are. "Gymnasium mural" appears to be crafted from bright colored acrylic paints. Individuals are shown playing basketball, shooting pool, working out mathematical equations, among other activities.
