Abstract
Climate change is the greatest threat to humanity today, so when creating innovative solutions, we should consider the role of environmental art to raise awareness, challenge mainstream values, and spark reflection. This thesis considers themes in environmental art, explores innovative mediums, and discusses the role of the arts in environmental education. The findings are informed by an interdisciplinary creative project which explores Burlington, Vermont’s seasonal phenology. The creative project seeks to create a multisensory reflection on Vermont’s phenology, raise awareness of how climate change is impacting seasonal cycles, and provide a guideline to integrating art into place-based education. The project was set at Lone Rock Point in Burlington, Vermont and incorporated both photography and soundscapes to capture seasonal change. The final product includes nine composite photographs that are each paired with composite soundscapes that were recorded when each photograph was taken, an exhibition in the Davis Center, and a lesson plan for educators.
