dc.description.abstractThis paper examines the environmental crisis faced by our planet, the reasons that environmental education could not induce changes in pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours, and offers an alternative to traditional environmental education through the newly emerging curricular area of EcoArt education for elementary aged students. Responding to the need to address the burgeoning environmental crisis facing the planet, teachers can use art to teach ecological literacy with the goal of increasing the students’ connection to nature and encouraging life-long pro-environmental behaviours. EcoArt education has the potential to develop not only the knowledge but also the affective connections that are necessary for individual learners to engage in sustainable actions in school and beyond in their own homes and communities.en_US
