Studio Art courses have long been a staple of Environmental Studies programs.  Aldo Leopold presumably would approve, given his emphasis on aesthetics as an important part of environmental management.  But how do these arts classes contribute to student learning?  Does field drawing help students better understand ecological relationships?  Can making prints based on one’s environmental research help one better to process and synthesize that research?  Does participating in artistic production affect students’ environmental beliefs or behaviors?  What do we know and how do we talk about the role of studio art in environmental studies?
