Four Seasons was created in partnership with The Trust for Public Land, by a group of one hundred eighth graders at MS 73 in Maspeth, NY. The students created five mosaic panels for their new playground, representing the four seasons, and a fifth panel, combining all four. The project engaged students in thinking about the environment and school spirit, and it taught the students about the process of creating a mosaic. Participants discussed how their project might raise appreciation of the four seasons and awareness their relationship to climate change. The students also discovered a new capacity to create things that can beautify and change their community.
