Are you curious about the animals that live in nature around us? Do you like learning about the science behind them, such as the life cycle of a frog? If so, this might be your class. Each day we will read and learn about animals as well as venture outdoors into the forest and near the pond to observe them. Bring an extra pair of shoes for the pond (rain boots or water shoes) and insect repellent to use as needed. This class is a 3 in 1 stop: Students can come for one, two or all three as classes are back to back in the same room.

Be Green, A Rats Eye View of Garbage is a program that fuses science, environmentalism, and art.

Students will work together to create animal sculptures from reusable materials and learn the chemistry of plastics and forever chemicals. This experience will provide a new perspective, or “Rat’s Eye View” of our human impact on the planet and provide hands-on opportunities for students to advocate for change. This project is sponsored by the Pumphouse Regional Arts Center. Community artists, scientists and university students will collaborate with art educators to provide studio time, research time and field trips to local garbage and recycling plants. Through the written word students will have the opportunity to reflect on their own plastic consumption and their artistic transformations of plastics. These artist statements will be displayed alongside their art in community public spaces.

Throughout this course students will work with adults when using power tools and attachment materials. This green journey allows students to come to terms with their environmental impact, knowledge of individual ways to make change, and how to use art as a form of advocacy.
