Synopsis
This art gallery displays a compelling portrayal of climate change in the United States, including its causes, impacts, and the strength of our collective response.
Students will see the winners of the U.S. Global Change Research Program art contest, as well as the complete collection, each with its narrative describing the climate issue or solution depicted.
The youth entries, some of which were award-winners, will empower students.
Art teachers will appreciate that each artwork has a descriptor of the medium or mediums used.
Additional Prerequisites
Students should understand climate change and humanity's part in creating global warming.
Vocabulary for many artists' statements is rigorous, so teachers should include a mini-lesson or graphic organizer for unknown terms.
Differentiation
Teachers and students can view the collection as a whole or select individual pieces to emphasize the current topic for instruction. There are pieces to extend discussions about environmental racism, biodiversity, sea level rise, wildfires, pollution, and many other climate change topics.
English teachers can have students study the artworks and then choose one piece as a basis for a personal narrative about climate change.
Students can evaluate the use of symbolism in many of the pieces.
Science teachers can have students select a piece of art and then connect that art to research about a climate change problem or solution to help form a hypothesis.
