About Educational and Paint Sessions

Educational Session:

The first half of our Garden in Transit Sessions is an educational component where students talk about social issues that concern them and how they see themselves as a vehicle for change. They then paint about their issue on a model taxi -cab that they get to take home with them. Children also complete short written statements and oral presentations. A participant's time is split evenly between the painting and the educational components.

The second half is the painting of the actual panels that will go on the NYC taxi- cabs in the fall of 2007.
