Do Your P'Art Foundation

The environment was Do Your P’Arts theme through June of 2010. Water was the focus for 2008-2009 since there are many related local and global issues. The common concern for the environment is intended to help foster deep connections amongst participants.
Through an active engagement with the curriculum, students will have the opportunity to identify environmental concerns. They will work collaboratively to come up with viable solutions for creating a more equitable and sustainable environment, while creating many different forms of art.
" Part of our mission at Shedd Aquarium is connecting people to the living world. By working together, Shedd Aquarium and Do Your P'Art can provide children with creative inspiration that will strengthen that connection.”                                                  Shedd Aquarium
Shedd Aquarium will supply a series of lessons to enhance the students' visit to the aquarium.  These lessons will encourage connections between art and science that students may not have seen or thought about before.
The field trip component will include investigations in the exhibits and the surrounding environment at Shedd Aquarium once again encouraging connections between art and science.
“Working with Do Your P'Art, Shedd Aquarium can aid in helping students think about the local, living world in a different way and give them that creative inspiration. "       Shedd Aquarium
