SYNOPSIS: In this lesson, students investigate the effectiveness of visual art in addressing climate change.
SCIENTIST NOTES: Simply put, not everyone is swayed by a scientific expert. Often it takes other means to convey a message to someone. That is why is an integral part of climate change communication. Art, scientifically, has a different impact on our thoughts and decision-making than hearing a lecture from an expert. This lesson explores different climate change art projects and shows their potential to reach audiences. This lesson has passed the scientific review process.
POSITIVES: -Students learn that art can be used to address issues that are usually just discussed in scientific terms. -Students learn about a variety of artists whose work deals with climate change. -Students can begin to visualize ways that they might make art about climate change, which can serve as a subsequent lesson. -This lesson is interactive and simulates a real-world situation in the art world, requiring a variety of skills.
ADDITIONAL PREREQUISITES: -This lesson can be paired with or follow a more in-depth discussion of climate change science. -Students should know how to use Google Slides or a similar type of presentation format. -Students should have a basic familiarity with rubrics.
DIFFERENTIATION: -Teachers can provide instruction multimodally. -Teachers can preview vocabulary with ESL students. -Teachers can follow up with questions to ensure comprehension. -Teachers can pair students with helpful peers. -It can be beneficial for developing students’ interpersonal skills if groups were randomized.
