Locating and Reordering Discourses - EnvironmentTeacher Arzadon
This paper explored the dynamics of inculcating environmental care discourses in a peri-urban village in the Philippines. The project involved mobilizing the whole village to revive its biologically dead river and implement waste segregation in every home. What environmental care discourses were found in the community and where did they come from? What representations did they create? How were they enacted and inculcated? To answer these questions, ethnography was employed along with deconstruction and critical discourse analysis. It was found that the state-led environmental care programs privileged techno-managerial and economic discourses, presented as expert knowledge belonging to scientific communities. The techno-managerial discourse normalized people as deficient and needy and the environment as an objectified helpless captive. Environmental care as an economic concern was about making money out of waste and providing lucrative profit to owners of waste-management businesses. Such discourse normalized people as consumers and potential recipients of loans for waste infrastructure projects. The village did not fully accept the state-led discourses and instead critically examined and melded them with their own discourse of environmental care -- spirituality-inspired and communitarian. The spirituality-inspired environmental discourse viewed environmental care as a battle between good and evil and learning is typified as a “conversion” process. Communitarian discourse cast environment as a nurturing place where people connect with their collective past. These endogenous discourses were inculcated and reproduced through compelling folklore and cultural symbols. The educative processes were informal, embedded in the daily activities in the village, mediated by unlikely teachers like garbage collectors and student volunteers. In the end, this study argues that environmental education is a critical and agentic process of navigating through multiple discourses. It is also process of identifying and locating endogenous discourses as the major point of departure.

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.
Informal Education workshop About Anne Frank And Environmental Conservationcmkegley
This is a program plan I created for an informal educational workshop that ties local environmental conservation concerns to the issues that plagued Anne Frank's Chestnut Tree. The workshop is designed to be multidisciplinary and includes historical information about Anne Frank and scientific information about the Emerald Ash Borer. Included in this program plan are the directions for activities, sample documents, and a sample program script. This program plan was designed for a Museum Education Class.
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.

4. Program Objectives/Visitor Experience: The visitors will experience and interact
with the Art and Nature Park by collecting objects from nature, or using items
provided by the IMA, creating a mandala inspired by the materials and/or
contributing to a collaborative mandala. This will allow the visitors to connect to
their natural environment and renew their perception of these objects they are used
to seeing everyday.
Outcome/Goals: Participants will:
• Explore and interact with the Art and Nature Park in new and
engaging ways
• Connect to their natural environment by re‐discovering nature and
collecting natural objects to use in their artwork
• Aim to facilitate dialogue between family members, participants,
and/or staff and volunteers
• Learn and grow by means of social interaction
• Collaborate and create a sense of community
• Learn art vocabulary and how to describe objects effectively
• Expand their knowledge about site‐specific artwork,
environmental/land art and artists, and cultural art forms
(specifically centered around topic of mandalas)
• Inspire and motivate participants to consider new/alternative uses
for nature (such as in the creative process)
• Raise concerns surrounding environmental issues and how art and
nature related pieces could potentially create environmental
awareness
• Have fun!
Learning Activities: Exploration of the park/nature, dialogue/conversations
describing objects (guessing game activity: see additional materials document), art
making process
Materials: provide some collected natural objects (from the Horticulture and
Grounds department), fallen natural objects collected by partcipants, non‐
toxic/environmentally friendly paint (most likely watercolor so it is not as bold and
distracting from the colors of the objects), paintbrushes and water cups, variety of
colored paper, scissors, glue/gluesticks, pencils, smocks, handouts (see additional
materials document): mandala description, examples and templates; art vocabulary
and words to use when describing objects; land/environmental artists and artwork
examples (NOTE: For the larger collaborative mandala, paint and other materials
may not be used. The IMA will only allow the site‐specific artwork to remain on
grounds if it created by materials from the Art and Nature Park).
Procedures/Instructions/Directions: The visitors will collect objects that have
fallen on the ground in the Art and Nature Park, such as twigs, leaves, and rocks,
considering elements such as color and texture. They are also allowed to use natural
objects collected by the IMA’s Horticulture and Grounds department. They will
discuss (whether as a group or within their own families) the color, shape, texture,
and use of these objects, using the form of a guessing game if they would like, to
activate a sense of excitement about the process. Each participant will work on their
own mandala and/or contribute to a collaborative mandala that will remain a part
