  • Art to communicate Science  “Art makes environmental education more experiential and helps to build appreciation, awareness, and a sense of shared responsibility for nature that students may carry throughout their lives”  (Song 2008).
  • Art can create emotional connections to conservation issues that factual science alone cannot, essential in cultivating a desire to protect and conserve (Friedman,2013 ).​
  • Art can positively change and improve the visual appearance of an area and environment, thereby creating an atmosphere of transformation and inspiration(Gough 2012).
  • Art is an ancient visual language that transcends language and cultural boundaries and is understood by all.
