The first science unit of the year ended a couple weeks ago. Students explored the concept that changes to the natural world have consequences. They considered the impact on the human experience of art and how we express ourselves. We paid particular attention to the exploration of artistry. Students created a piece of work that explored the concept of change and its consequences. In addition, while we looked into the problem of invasive species we had the chance to use data collected by researchers on the behavior of cats as owned family pets. We learned that domestic cats kill a lot of animals (small birds, mammals, and reptiles) and the data allowed the students to discover the nature of the problem and to propose ways to solve the problem. They included their analyses and recommendations along with their work of art and their artist statement.
Our original plan was to have an in-person art show at ABIS. The current situation requires us to take it online.
So what you see here are views of each student’s work. They run as an automatic slideshow that you can control if you would like to go through faster or slower or to stop each presentation.
We hope you enjoy seeing the art the students produced, their artist statements, and the analysis of the research data.
