My Project

My students and I are lucky to live on Hawaii island, home to more unique species than anywhere else on the planet. I want to teach them to value the diversity and understand the threats to native Hawaiian plants by studying their leaves and creating art with them.

We will turn the Hawaiian plants we treasure culturally into golden, jeweled works of art to elevate them and raise awareness of our native biodiversity.

As a celebration of their vital importance, this lesson views them as a fine canvas on which to create art. The cultural relevance, the sparkle and flash, and the tactile nature of the lesson will engage even the most reluctant learners. This is a STEAM lesson that provides opportunities for students to engage with science and Hawaiian culture in a creative way.
