STUDENTS EXPLORED RESPECT and peaceful conflict resolution (Listen!)  this summer by working in teams to create animal block prints with teaching artist Trisha Gupta. Trisha invited the students to work on the prints in pairs, giving them the opportunity to practice compromise and conflict resolution through the process of creating an art piece together. The students then shared their prints with younger students, explaining their artistic process and the lessons they learned. The Civic Circle thanks Montgomery Housing

SUMMER IS HERE, but the civic learning continues after a Spring semester packed with civic songs, poetry, dance and visual arts. The Civic Circle is pleased to be offering a summer civic arts residency in collaboration with Montgomery Housing Partnership for students attending Odessa Shannon Middle School. Students will explore respect and kindness (Listen!) with visual artist Trisha Gupta, and share their art pieces with younger students as part of summer service-learning. This continues The Civic Circle’s expansion
