      <image:title>Curriculum - Introduction</image:title>
      <image:caption>Part one of the workshop provides students with an opportunity to learn how vegetation is brought indoors through methods related to STEAM. Students are given an interactive 15-min presentation exploring how plants are used in architecture, and how the creative process is the navigating tool for developing a green wall. This introductory presentation leads to experiments and hands-on learning.</image:caption>

      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e61abd7e57f0619cc67d2/1628013207520-QWDMUU0IFKJUTUP0NQYU/2017-10-02+09.30.38.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Curriculum - Discussion and Study</image:title>
      <image:caption>Once the presentation is completed, students are introduced to physical attributes of interior plants. They study plant characteristics including form, color, texture, and scale. Students interpret these characteristics by designing a small-scale multimedia collage utilizing construction paper (in colors similar to the plants), drawing utensils (to simulate foliage textures), and adhesive. The objective is for students to understand that each plant have different characteristics and those elements are used to create a design for the living wall.</image:caption>

      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e61abd7e57f0619cc67d2/1628013268461-IRE4FKODX71WIGTRQUZI/2017-10-02+11.21.27.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Curriculum - Design Thinking and Collaboration</image:title>
      <image:caption>After students complete their collages, they then break into groups and develop a planting plan. If there is more than one green wall to create, groups may be divided based on the number of installations. If there is only one green wall, the students participate in a design competition. All learners are encouraged to consider the characteristics of plants, employ pertinent mathematical/geometrical concepts for pattern-making, and collaborate in a creative process throughout all stages of the project.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Curriculum - Fabrication and Installation</image:title>
      <image:caption>In part three of the workshop, students may begin the formal fabrication the green wall(s) and subsequent plant installation. Some participating schools may not have the resources or requisite student skill sets to allow for the fabrication process to occur in the classroom. Alternatively, a carpenter, a skilled volunteer, or a living wall specialist could prefabricate the green wall(s), and the students begin their work with the installation of the plants that are represented in their respective planting plans.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Curriculum - Post Installation</image:title>
      <image:caption>Once installation is completed, students will have learned about green wall design and fabrication processes and will understand the relationship between the two-dimensional design plan (Part II) and the finished installation.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e61abd7e57f0619cc67d2/1628013492342-FJ5ABLD4V8FCRNB8DADE/2017-10-06+09.46.33.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Curriculum - Plant Care</image:title>
      <image:caption>If green walls feature living plants, all installations require on-going plant care, watering, and maintenance of aesthetic qualities. To ensure the living walls thrive, students are encouraged to attend to each wall on a weekly basis as part of their art or science class, along with oversight by a committed community volunteer or green wall specialist.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Part one of the workshop provides students with an opportunity to learn how vegetation is brought indoors through methods related to STEAM. Students are given an interactive 15-min presentation exploring how plants are used in architecture, and how the creative process is the navigating tool for developing a green wall. This introductory presentation leads to experiments and hands-on learning.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Once the presentation is completed, students are introduced to physical attributes of interior plants. They study plant characteristics including form, color, texture, and scale. Students interpret these characteristics by designing a small-scale multimedia collage utilizing construction paper (in colors similar to the plants), drawing utensils (to simulate foliage textures), and adhesive. The objective is for students to understand that each plant have different characteristics and those elements are used to create a design for the living wall.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Community Art - Free Installation for Partners</image:title>
      <image:caption>In part three of the workshop, students may begin the formal fabrication the green wall(s) and subsequent plant installation. Some participating schools may not have the resources or requisite student skill sets to allow for the fabrication process to occur in the classroom. Alternatively, a carpenter, a skilled volunteer, or a living wall specialist could prefabricate the green wall(s), and the students begin their work with the installation of the plants that are represented in their respective planting plans.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>After students complete their collages, they then break into groups and develop a planting plan. If there is more than one green wall to create, groups may be divided based on the number of installations. If there is only one green wall, the students participate in a design competition. All learners are encouraged to consider the characteristics of plants, employ pertinent mathematical/geometrical concepts for pattern-making, and collaborate in a creative process throughout all stages of the project.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Once installation is completed, students will have learned about green wall design and fabrication processes and will understand the relationship between the two-dimensional design plan (Part II) and the finished installation.</image:caption>
