“After taking this class, I want to do more hands on activities. I would like to actually put a rain barrel on the street for a week as an experiment to see what would happen to all the water, just like my collage.” – Zi Xian Chen Chen, student

“My English is not that good, and this project was very different for me. It let me know that I can still communicate my ideas in a different way. Even if I may not know the right word, right now, I can create a design to help you understand better.” – Mohammed Shimul, student

“Working with students whose first language was not English and therefore seeing first hand the benefits of art and more hands on activity to explain ideas and initiaves by the city was a huge learning curve for me. CUP brings tons of knowledge and experience to the classroom and also another way of looking at things from the standard that is typically taught.” – Elma Relihan, Teaching Artist

“Having an extremely personable female graphic artist talking to some of my Yemeni female students about career possibilities encouraged them in ways that teachers cannot. They sought Elma out at the end of class to speak with her.” – Erin Fleischauer, classroom teacher
