Invitation to Participate in National Climate Art Mosaic
A detail from the Climate Art Mosaic. View the full mosaic, including students’ artists’ statements, here.
Dear Teachers,
Honoring the Future offers your students the opportunity to participate in our national digital Climate Art Mosaic.
The mosaic is an online collection of student artwork expressing students’ concerns, hopes, and ideas about climate change. Each student creates a mosaic “tile” answering the question: “What would you like to tell the world about climate change?” (The tiles can be made of ceramics or other media.) Each student also writes a brief “artist’s statement” explaining their thinking.
We publish photographs of the students’ artwork and the artist’s statements on our website to form a digital mosaic.
The mosaic is designed to empower students to add their voices – through visual and language art – to our national conversation on climate change, witness the strength of collaboration, and reinforce lessons about our individual power to contribute to climate solutions.
The mosaic also teaches students to be good citizens: to speak out about causes that matter to them and to make a difference in their communities. And as the mosaic grows with contributions from across the nation, it can inspire hope that we can come together to address climate change and make daily lifestyle choices which advance climate solutions.
Student contributions to the mosaic from Philadelphia, PA, Hialeah, FL, and Washington, DC can be viewed here. We welcome your students’ contributions! If this project is of interest, please contact us at info@honoringthefuture.org.
