Mississippi School of the Arts (MSA)
The Mississippi School of the Arts (MSA) is a residential art school for 11th and 12th grade students located in Brookhaven, MS. This is the third time that MSA has had the honor of designing ornaments for the National Christmas Tree display. Drawing 1 students spent a week researching interesting facts, people and landmarks from their state, then used that information to decorate the ornaments. The topics range from magnolia trees and Elvis to space shuttles and dolphins. Each design was sketched on the surface of the globe and then painted with acrylic paint.
