Abstract
The environment is a global concern, evidenced both by global warming and pollution caused by human activity. Global warming has become increasingly evident, particularly in Alaska. Art can contribute to an increased awareness of these concerns. This paper makes a case for more creative programs related to conceptualizing and creating sustainable art activities and displays. It describes a collaborative learning model by focusing on two case studies: Junk to Funk and Winter Design Project. These projects benefitted from participation in the University of the Arctic’s Arctic Sustainable Art and Design (ASAD) Thematic Network. They demonstrate how recycled materials can be used to create functional artwork and also examine “ice and snow” from a new perspective. The outcome of these efforts is to encourage further artistically inspired solutions using sustainable media.
