Welcome to Changing Climate
But before we do, let’s reflect on what we learnt in our last

 Art and 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


Impacts place, culture, ecosystems, wildlife, animal life and
human life. An impact on one species will affect many
others, including humans.
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.
Let’s start this lesson by learning about
“Art and climate change”.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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