California's 21 historical missions provide the focus for two art projects. Boy scouts make adobe brick by hand and learn that it's very hard work. An elementary class uses a variety of materials for their creative models of the missions. Includes information about a mission's basic form, purpose, and impact on the area. Recommends viewers to try both projects.
