The second station consists of the creation of an art wall! This station will start at 10:00 and finish at 16:00 and will take place in the elementary school playground. This new immersive experience consists of students creating origami pieces and coloring in various parts of an art piece. By the end, every element will come together to form an art piece that transmits a meaningful message regarding the refugee crisis!

On the ECC wall, an interactive art piece will be created throughout the day. As students visit this station, they will be able to write and draw on the art piece, as well as create little origami boats with meaningful messages in them. By the end of the day, we will have a public art piece that demonstrates ASB's support and solidarity for the Refugee crisis.
