The author of this article is an art teacher at William H. English Middle School in Scottsburg, Indiana. She and the science teacher, decided they wanted their units on integration and teaching responsibility to the environment to mesh and create a lasting memory for students. The science component consisted of an ecology unit that led students to realize the importance of environmental awareness with a focus on preservation of water. Within the art component, students studied environmental art, discussed public works, wrote critically about them, and created their artworks. Provided are a list of web links, related articles, and a list of suggested materials for completing a mural project similar to this one.
