From The Ground Up is a music inspired workshop that guides students through exploring and taking stock of their community roots. During this session participants will create a visual community map. Infused with music inspired reflection and communication, this workshop guides students in expressing thoughts, feelings, messages, and ideas through the arts. 

As participants take stock of the people and places they call home, they will answer the question--” what keeps us grounded?” 

As students Learn about and reflect on the Cycle of plant life, growth and sustainability, we will take this model and apply it to the growth and sustainability of our communities. 

Within this workshop, students will map out their community roots. From listening to the music and responding with creation, students will develop their creativity and aesthetic awareness. 

Students will walk away from this workshop with a visual map of their communities. filled with stories, poems, and visual images that map out the people and places that hold meaning to them.
