Article: The Art of Saving Water
California
Arts Council Director Craig Watson reflects on our recent partnership
with the California Department of Water Resources:
"While the
actions of adults on water conservation will determine our fate, making
kids aware of water and the drought is important too.
At the
California Arts Council, we noticed that California's 4th and 5th grade
students must meet science, history, and social science standards that
require water education. Fourth grade students trace the evolution of
California's water system into a network of dams, aqueducts, and
reservoirs, while 5th graders are taught the human impact on earth
systems such as water. And we know from research and experience that
integrating arts into subjects like science and math can engage students
and increase achievement. So why not combine art and science studies in
a fun and creative project?"
