In 2006 Margo Wixsom participated in the Fulbright-Hays exchange for Australia: Art, Culture and Environment. 25 teachers from the US toured environmental, arts and cultural sites in Hawaii for orientation and then on to Australia for a spectacular tour de force by Fulbright Australia hosts. Teachers took buses around New South Wales, Canberra, and Melbourne visiting schools, universities, wildlife areas, cultural sites, regional commerce locations, museums, and art galleries. From Melbourne they flew to Uluru and toured for 5 days around the geographical heritage sites and Aboriginal arts & cultural centers. On to Darwin the Fulbright group toured Kakadu in the Northern Territory for 5 days and explored the rich heritage of "The Wet," the rainforest and monsoon season part of the continent, rich in crocodiles, wildlife and some of the oldest human arts sites on the planet. The next flight to Cairns included tours of Kuranda by train and the Great Barrier Reef by boat. Circling back to Sydney the group connected with school and university groups, ferry ride to Manly Beach and Shakespeare at the Sydney Opera House. The mission for each teacher was to integrate aspects of the art, culture, and environment of Australia into their American curriculum pairing US-to-OZ connections for students to better understand and appreciate interdisciplinary studies. Margo Wixsom integrated projects into all 3 courses. The Art Spectrum Drawing unit explored the connections for wildlife and habitats in the US and Australia. Students selected a subject and habitat to draw for the international contest River of Words - using art & writing to celebrate the environment and help students make personal connections to place. Another Art Spectrum class used Graphic design to examine meaning of symbols to communicate respect and conservation ideas in traditional Australian Aborigine art and modern California conservation campaigns. The Photography students explored the local National Wildlife Refuge across the San Francisco Bay to frame personal meaning for the conservation of wetlands in Australia, California and worldwide. These series of projects won the Fulbright-Australia Project of the Year Award for 2006. Margo Wixsom donated the $1000 prize money back to the Fulbright-Australia office as a lifetime member to pay-forward this extraordinary opportunity to work with the Fulbright staff and teacher cohort.]]>

0 https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/profile-photo-margowixsom-48x48.jpg?cb=1687285559 I have been teaching art, writing, and culture for the last 30 years, currently at Palo Alto High School for the last 20 as the Photography and AP Studio Art teacher. I continue to discover how wonderful and powerful the awareness of thoughts become things can have on my life and the impact positive efforts and intentions have on everything around us. I am thinking great and good things for myself, my family, friends, and the world. Why not think big if we have the power?! Life is GOOD - make it SO. 4u2bskyhigh.org
