Project teams are encouraged to create artwork representing an aspect of a food sustainability topic covered (sustainability, food systems, food waste, food justice, AI in the food industry, food careers in the food industry, etc.).

 

**This project will be one of final project competition components! This will be due at the end of Week 10.**

 

In week 3, project teams selected one of the following Sustainable Art Projects:

1. Magazine Collage Mural: Create a collage mural from old magazines and newspapers clippings to depict healthy & sustainable foods or another climate change topic covered. Project team members should begin collecting recycled materials.

2. Vision Board for Climate Change & Food: Create a vision board to address one of the climate change and food topics that visually represents a challenge, solution, and hope for future change or improvement through action (i.e. food insecurity, food desserts, food injustice, recycling, overflowing landfills, hunger, etc.).

3. Photography Collage: Illustrate a topic related to climate change and food from visuals seen in your neighborhood or community. Project team can take and print pictures on a poster board. Must be original pictures taken by the project team (not others or on the Internet).

4. Trash-to-Treasure Sculpture: Create a sculpture using recycled and/or discarded materials (i.e. food wrappers, plastic bottles, cardboard, scrap metal, plant seeds, and food containers, etc.) to highlight how food and food waste contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Project team members can begin collecting recycled materials.

5. Painting: Create a collaborative painting that illustrates an aspect of the climate change & food theme (i.e. sustainable foods, plants, leaves, or flowers, food images, food desserts, recycling, waste disposal, food injustice, etc.). Consider using natural dyes from plants, fruits, and vegetables to create texture art.

This week, project teams will get organized and begin preparing their Sustainable Art Projects. Work as a project team to determine how project tasks will be completed.

 

• What will be included in the design?

• Which Food Sustainability topics will be incorporated (sustainability, food systems, food waste, food justice, AI in the food industry, careers in the food industry, etc.).

• Which project team members will create the design?

• What materials and supplies will be needed?

• When will the project team complete the design?
