"Support Marine Reserves in the Antarctic: Overfishing, Bycatch, Climate Change"

• This resource contains a triptych (3 painting series) by Jill Pelto in response to overfishing, bycatch, and climate change in the Antarctic. 
• This series plays with the idea of "the tip of the iceberg" and is inspired by the pressing need to protect our oceans. 
  
• It contains images of the paintings and a short description of the inspiration for the series. 

Positives

• The artwork can be a fun addition to many different lessons across many grade levels.
• Climate art ignites emotion and climate discussion.

Additional Prerequisites

• This resource supports lessons and the educator will need to integrate it into a pre-existing lesson.

Differentiation

• Students could create a triptych in response to climate data that they feel passionately about.
• Students could write a painting analysis to reflect on their interpretations of its message.
• Other works by Jill Pelto include "Landscape of Change", "Salmon Population Decline", and "Take a Lesson From Nature".
