4. Welcome to Changing Climate
But before we do, let’s reflect on what we learnt in our last lesson…
During this lesson we will be exploring…
Art and climate change

5. In our last lesson we learnt that climate change
Is caused by greenhouse gases trapped in our atmosphere and warming the planet. This is creating warmer oceans, melting polar ice caps causing oceans to rise and causing floods and droughts.
In our last lesson we learnt that climate change
Can be improved if we burn less fossil fuels, less fracking, less emissions from factories and cutting back on anything that creates smoke or soot.
Impacts place, culture, ecosystems, wildlife, animal life and human life. An impact on one species will affect many others, including humans.

6. Let’s start this lesson by learning about “Art and climate change”.

7. David Buckland Ice Texts 2005 -2009
David Buckland is an artist who is interested in how ice caps and glaciers are melting and changing.
His art work Burning Ice was inspired by a book called The Future of Ice. The book was about the author’s trip to see ice caps and glaciers in the north and south pole.
David was inspired so much by this book he travelled to these places himself and projected the sentences from this book onto the ice caps and glaciers.
The art work Burning Ice is warning to us about how the planet’s landscape and oceans will change if the ice and glaciers continue to melting.

8. Bik Van der Pol Facts on the Ground
Bik Van der Pol are an artist couple who are fascinated by land development happening in home of Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
Maasvlatke 2 is the name of this new land in Rotterdam and was created by pouring 2000 hectares (2000 rugby fields) of sand into the ocean.
Bik Van der Pol’s art work Facts on the ground is a film showing how this new land was created. The camera shows sand flowing from large container ships into the ocean. Other views shows us how big this new land is or will be.
The film shows us how to build land if the sea levels keep rising.

9. Amy Howden-Chapman The Flood, My Chanting
Amy Howden-Chapman is an artist from Wellington and has made many art works about the environment.
One project she created was called The Flood, My Chanting. Amy had placed maritime bells throughout the city, showing parts of the city that could be underwater if a huge flood were to happen or if the ocean to continues to rise.
During the project Amy had organised people to ring each bell, filling the city streets with sound. The maritime bells were originally used on ships and rung if there was any approaching danger.
The Flood, My Chanting warns us that the impacts of climate change such as flooding and rising water is a very real possibility, and that we need to act with urgency to help with solutions.

10. Futuristic archaeology
Daesung Lee
Futuristic archaeology
Daesung Lee is a photographer who photographs people in their homeland.
Some of Daesung’s photographs show traditional Mongolian culture and life on a landscape that is changing because of climate change.
His photographs show places that once had green hills and water but now are dry and with no water.
Daesung’ photos send a message that if the land changes, so to the way we live and the cultural traditions we practice.

11. Climate Change Posters in Paris
In 2015, 600 posters were secretly installed by the Brandalism project on the streets of Paris.
The project included 82 artists from 19 different countries who made artworks focused on climate change.
Posters were placed in areas such as bus stops or along busy roads and footpaths.
Let’s take a look a few posters that were part of this project…

15. Let’s reflect on what we have learnt so far…
As we have seen, art can creatively share the impacts of climate change on people, place and our planet.
Let’s reflect on what we have learnt so far…

16. What have we learnt so today?
Art can creatively share:
The impacts of climate change such as rising waters and the flooding of cities.
The impacts of climate change on people’s lives, their culture and traditions and the future of their homeland.
Ways people are using technology to create new land in place where water is rising.
The impact we have on the world.

17. In the next lesson Climate change inventions we will design out of this world inventions that could help with the impacts of climate change.
We hope you enjoyed learning more about climate change and how we can help creatively.
