Employing creative arts to communicate a message is an intellectually challenging and stimulating activity. Motivate your students to use the fine arts as a tool to educate others about issues related to sustainable development. Your work can address issues such as interconnectivity between people and environments around the world, agroecology and the importance of livestock animals. All these topics are an important part of the work Heifer International promotes around the globe. By participating in an Art for a Cause Project, students will learn respect for the Earth, gain respect for living creatures and build familiarity with visual art materials and techniques.
