Online Interactive Unit Artists are often particularly keen observers and precise recorders of the physical conditions of the natural world. As a result, paintings can be good resources for learning about ecology. Teachers can use this lesson to examine with students the interrelationship of geography, natural resources, and climate and their effects on daily life. It also addresses the roles students can take in caring for the environment. Level: Grades 5–6 (can be adapted for other levels) This program is also available as a printed booklet with color reproductions. It may be borrowed free-of-charge from NGA Loan Programs. |
