Rationale
This digital resource guide for teachers exists so that educators can generate unique lessons that are catered to their specific needs, such as geographic location, budget limitations, size of class, and time-frame. The idea is that environmental science teachers wanting to incorporate a visual art component into their curriculum can do so by simply entering a list of data into an imbedded application (found here), and a rough lesson plan will be generated that they can then use as a starting point for teaching. An example that I have included showcases art installations along a walking path in South Lake Tahoe. Elements include 2-D works of art created in response to the physical locale of the trail, as well as 3-Dimensional works that are slated for installation later in the year. All work includes small signs explaining the artwork and how each piece mirrors the surroundings, specifically how science plays a part in the creation of the art.
