The Magnolia @ Highland’s vision of an 1800’s western town:
If you can dream it, you can make it!
Residents started working on this massive project in March. From the beginning, they were challenged to think in 3-dimensional terms and created their town model from scratch using cardboard, polymer clay, wooden sticks, acrylic paints, paper mache, gravel, dried moss, and anything else they could think of to realize this unique vision. Many of their ancestors’ stories of life in the old days spun wildly while they were hard at work, as well as a few heated debates on everything from the style of the buildings to the number of outhouses the town should have.
In the end, everyone was so proud of their creation all they could do was sit there and stare at it with gleaming eyes. They have definitely outdone themselves and were excited to show it off at the EngAGE Senior Olympics, where they brought home the Gold Medal in the Art Competition!
