High School revisioning





The drawing class at Mascoma Valley Regional High School was a great group! I gave them a challenging project: they were asked to find a site outside, around the school that appeared abandoned, damaged, or just ugly. They drew the site, mapped it, and measured it, and we took digital photos of the sites. The students then imagined and drew ideas for improving the sites. their work was creative and very possible. One team planned a vegetable/flower garden, and have already identified donations to implement their plan. Another student planned a simple and small garden integrating an ugly pipe into the design. Another team imagined a greenhouse teaching/growing space where students could enjoy growth year round.
