Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, it's not going to get better, it's not."
Project Description:
Artists will be exploring how to visually represent social issues they care about. They will be creating two works of art that tell a story similar to Dr. Suess’s “The Lorax.” The first artwork represents what the Earth would look like if they cared “an awful lot.” The second represents what that same Earth would look like if they did not. Together they will represent two versions of the world they live in.
Enduring Understandings:

Enduring Understandings:
- Human’s actions have transitional effects on the Environment we inhabit
- Artists make art about thing they care about or want to change
- Artists make intentional composition choices to show relationships between dichotomous situations
- Artists use sketches to plan their works of art
- Art tells stories
Learning Objectives:
- After participating in a group discussion about Dr.Suess’s “The Lorax,” students will be able to create plans for their artwork that visually represent two options of how the world could be. (Observe and Learn to Comprehend)
- After planning their before and after artwork, students will be able to use their drawing, collage, and painting studios to create works of art that represent a world where they care and a world where they don’t. (Invent and Discover to Create.)
- After creating works of art showing two different worlds, students will write and talk about how they used their hearts, hands and minds like artists using a reflection playsheet and table discussion. (Envision and Critique to Reflect.)
- After observing contemporary environmental artists, students will be able to discuss visual characteristics of their artwork using artistic language. (Relate and Connect to Transfer.)
