Xianghai Middle School and Xianghai Nature Park
Xianghai, China
Art in a Box is working in partnership with the International Crane Foundation
(ICF) on environmental art education projects in China. Through ICF, Art in a
Box joined with Ms. Shi Yanqiu, the art teacher at the Xianghai Middle School
in northeastern China, to develop art classes and public art projects that
promote environmental awareness and support creative development in children.
The school is located near the Xianghai Nature Reserve, a wetland reserve that
is home to endangered species of cranes.
Children from the school created artwork for The Note Card Project. Their artwork demonstrated how people around the world can find a deeper
connection to nature through art. The sale of the note cards supports
environmental education in Xianghai, China. Children from the Xianghai Middle
School completed a 6 meter long Mural Project that describes the life cycle of the migrating cranes through four seasons and
the beauty of the natural environment at Xianghai. The mural was presented at
Xianghai Nature Reserve and will be on permanent display at the Xianghai Nature
Reserve Museum.
