After a month touring Australia with Fulbright-Hays I designed 4 projects for my students to learn about and make personal connections to the unique geography, art, and culture of Australia, Projects include worldwide watershed exploration, examination of the use of environmental symbols by native peoples in California and New South Wales, and redefining our relationship to landscape. Fields trips to Stanford Papua-New Guinea sculpture garden and Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge create the foundation for real-world exploration of landscape and culture using professional models. With support from Fulbright Australia and the resources from the Melbourne Museum, National Library of Australia, CERES: Center for Education and Research in Environmental Strategies, Kakadu and Uluru-Kata-Tjuta National Parks.]]>

Photography students studied landscape traditions from 17th C. paintings to modern photography to understand ways that cultures frame ideas and ideals of landscape. They researched student exhibitions from Australia to plan a school exhibition. On a field trip to the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge they composed images that explored their own definitions and perspactives of framing landscape. They titled their exhibition: "[re}Defining Landscape" to reflect the many ways we use, abuse, and understand the landscapes around us.]]>

Graphic Design study of symbols across culture. Focus on the symbolic style of Aboriginal Art and their cultural example of living in harmony with Nature. Students researched 10 ways to change our lifestyles to respect the Earth and designed symbols for modern practices in Aboriginal graphic styles. They transferred their designs onto possum skin cloaks - which was the practice of Aboriginal clans of New Sotuh Wales. They etched designs of natural surroundings and important life events into possum skin cloaks that they kept for all of their lives. We imported Australian possum skins from New Zealand (an invasive species on that island) and used the pelts to replicate the possum skin cloajs project at the Melbourne Museum. The modern cloak that we sewed represents the practices with which we need to wrap around our lives to respsct and preserve our planet.]]>

I use Photography to explore cultural connections, history, art, geography, and current events. My curriculum theme is "What Matters" inspired by the book of the same name by David Elliot Cohen. I invite you to share what matters in your classroom.
