“Throughout this coloring book we wish to bring reflective questions, guiding you to identify your connection to maintenance and how it changes over time… Our hope is for those who engage with this book to come away with a new understanding of maintenance. The four sections of this coloring book have additional questions for you to consider while you make your art. These questions have been modified from the NYS Common Core Arts Standards, and are geared toward students at the high school level and beyond.”
Text and illustrations were inspired by papers and presentations that were part of The Maintainers III: Policy, Practice, and Care conference program in 2019.
“We dedicate this coloring book to all of the people whose daily efforts keep the world going.”
