Climate Change Art Education

Pick up some markers for students to design a group poster regarding ways to save the earth!

Materials needed: posters, markers, color pencils, glitters or any art appliance(s) that help design a poster!

Some questions for generating students' ideas:

1. What does the 3Rs represents? What are some examples of the 3Rs?

2. What are some things you want to change about the earth?

3. What are some ways we can do daily to save the earth?

(At home...? At school...? What else...?)

What's more, you can even make use of the worksheet & group evaluation/grading sheet and turn this Poster Design Activity into a whole class competition by asking students to make a presentation of their works and later, vote for their favorites!
