TEMA after school program

This is my second year I participate at TEMA, it's a nonprofit art organization that created for youth in the new york get a chance to work with professional artist to create community art projects (mostly Mural) One project I was work on was creating stencils for construction truck and the mean purpose of this project was to bring social awareness about environmental issue, such as telling people to reclycle, how important is nature to our surrounding and some statistic about environmental issue. The whole process took a long process, from coming up with concepts, come up with drawings, skill practice ( art and group skills) vi sting site, making measurement, making scale models, presenting ideas and get prove and making the live size stencils, and work on site, and making the final presentation to the society. In there I learn how to cooperate with other and public speaking skill, It's very enriching experience and plus you get pay.
This time we're working with New public space department and we're assign to do a project on the fence which dividing the cars from the bikes. The site is 5 minute away from our school make me super excited because this year my last in high school and I'll be able to leave something behind near the school I use to go to. We did a presentation yesterday and they like ideas so far...
