A review of ‘Ecoart in Action: Activities, Case Studies and Provocations for Classrooms and Communities’

Shelley Margaret Hannigan’s review of Ecoart in Action in the Australian Journal of Environmental Education highlights some important aspects that as Editors we aimed to draw out…

“…by the end of reading this book, I was left with a wider understanding of how we can and need to engage with both the environment and art to research, learn and understand interconnections of self, place, environment and ecologies.”

and

“…the book could be said to also be an education in environmental aesthetics as most of the activities provide opportunity to engage with the environment in empathic ways and /or explore our relationships with the natural environment, nature and ecologies.

The book is available through all good bookstores.
