Collage: The Ethnosphere
The class will be introduced to National Geographic's Explorer Wade Davis who teaches about what calls the ethnosphere, a word he uses to describe the imaginative contributions of humanity to the planet. He makes emphasis on people's stories. They are global resources, just like air, water, and green life. Just like the biosphere, the ethnosphere is also threatened by rampant modernization and globalization.
Collage is a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.
Given the materials given in class (National Geographic magazines), create a group collage. After experiencing the activity, plan a lesson with your group members.

“Sunset: How do you sleep?”
Our collage entitled “Sunset: How do you sleep?” Encaptures whimsical, dream like colors in the form of an ombré sunset. It is supposed to be entimepreted as as dreamscape, similar to the colors you see when you close your eyes at night. How can you sleep when the world is this beautiful and bustling? When there is so much magic and beauty in the world (as exemplified by the images from both ocean, land and sky)?
