JoinEarth View, Art View
This fascinating interdisciplinary project combines satellite imagery with the technique of silk painting in batik. Students choose a Landsat image, enlarge the area of interest, and paint it onto silk. To assess the project, teachers can discuss both the content of what students portrayed in terms of scientific inquiry, observation, accuracy, and interpretation and the artistic style they employed in terms of painting technique, observation, and use of elements and principles of design.
