"Each pizza box is a mural"


Spruce Pond Creamery owner Marc Bluestein recently commissioned a Franklin High art class to create an exhibit that would fit at his flatbread pizza restaurant and ice cream parlor. 
Robin Katz’s painting and printmaking class was up to the challenge: With paint and pizza boxes as palettes, the students created murals inspired by the restaurant’s menu. 
"Part of the fun was they weren’t just doing something for our classroom, but the community as well," said Katz. "You should always experience learning outside of the classroom; it makes it more meaningful and relevant."
