Project Description
“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.

Fun Facts
Scientists changed the term “global warming” to “climate change” because, although the earth’s temperature is rising, the effects can be extreme weather changes, not just warmer seasons.
Create your own mosaic design by gluing down small squares of construction paper onto a large sheet of black paper.
Mosaics are one of the oldest forms of art. The oldest known mosaics were made from colored pebbles instead of tiles.
