Respect and responsibility for our environment is explored through analyzing the interaction of human and natural systems and subsystems. Salmon and their local ecosystems are a focus with students observing, drawing, and cutting out a template for a salmon. Paper and other recycled materials are then reused for collage salmon shapes, details, habitat, and symbols showing positive or negative human impact in ecosystem. Last, students title their art and write an artist statement.
