Art is an amazing tool for communication, and when the message and images are well-designed, it can have a lasting impact. This is the goal of an environmental art project we developed at my school to help bridge classroom learning with the school district and larger community. Our storm drain painting project has expanded beyond the school walls, educating the community about water conservation and sustainability.
Art teachers support their students in recognizing and understanding the part that design plays in their everyday lives. Students express emotions through physical drawings of robots with digital symbolism, create visually impactful infographics inspired by real or imagined travels, develop real-world skills by collaborating with clients on design-related projects, and more.
