Coquitlam artist Susan Jessop last month unveiled a tile mosaic at Coquitlam River elementary that she pieced together with students.
Jessop started the project six months ago "because the entrance to the school is so bare and it just wasn't a reflection of the school community," she said.
Jessop, whose eight-year-old daughter attends Coquitlam River elementary, encouraged students to submit designs for the artwork and got classes involved to make the people; the bear was included as many bruins frequent the area, she said.
The materials were donated by Interstyle Tiles in Burnaby and Modern Tile and Flooring in Port Coquitlam.
