Art Exhibit: ntimate Nature: Plants and Landscapes of Central CaliforniaGardens of Golden Gate Park(February – May 2024) Using a variety of painting techniques, Jeanne Rosen Sofen has created a loving tribute to the beauty and diversity of Central California, from Sierra Nevada mountains to oak woodlands, to coastal hills and redwoods. A lifetime of enjoying and observing the natural world combined with years of exploring painting techniques has brought us this exciting exhibit of paintings of plants and landscapes. Sofen, who lives and works in the Santa Cruz area, has exhibited work widely over many years. In addition to traditional oils for studio work and pastels for plein aire studies, Sofen has developed an original technique of painting combining sponge-painted art papers with paint. Layers of the painted paper are pieced together on the surface with additional layers of paint bringing the composition together. The resulting textural interest is expressive and unique. In addition to the luminous landscapes and mysterious woodland scenes, the show includes paintings of some California native wildflowers found on her travels.
ART/ACT: YOUTHDavid Brower Center(March 10 - June 8, 2023) What happens when impassioned high school teachers from polar ends of the United States combine to inspire the next generation of environmental artivists? When North Platte (Lincoln, NE) and Skyline High (Oakland, CA) teachers met in May 2022, sparks flew. What their students created after learning about each region's unique ecology and groundwater challenges will leave you breathless.

The mission of CRS is to empower teachers and STEM professionals serving schools in historically marginalized communities to activate TK-8 students’ curiosity about the world, foster critical thinking, and inspire children to imagine future career pathways. We envision a community of educators, scientists, families and partners working together to build school cultures that equip all children to explore the world around them and build the skills needed to become innovators, problem solvers, environmental stewards, life-long learners and leaders. CRS leads a dynamic network, fostering relationships and collaborations that leverage expertise and resources to transform science teaching and learning toward greater equity, opportunity, and success for all students.

 

Our goal is simple: help teachers give students more opportunities to “do science” – to ask questions, test ideas, get their hands on real science activities. We need to inspire the next generation of thinkers, makers, problem solvers, and leaders!
