At Gilmanton Elementary School, I worked with students to create a mural that celebrates and reinforces the amazing recycling work the school does. They have a terrific team that has reduced the amount of waste for the school by somethings like 40 %.
6th grade was the core group for this artist in residence project, brainstorming text and design ideas for the mural, and working on the the 4 large central images. Then each classroom group had a panel to design and finish during their 1 hour meeting with me. We focused on the one material that has posed a challenge to the recycling team: milk cartons. Though the cartons are recyclable, they have to undergo a specific process that is not readily available in New Hampshire.
The central 4 panels contain the core concept: "Make Trash a Thing of the Past".
