Note: the February 6-week/6-session Online Hybrid format course - 'Deep immersion into Art-Based Perceptual Ecology (ABPE) methods'
and the Asynchronous format course of the same name are FULL. The next sessions for both the Online Hybrid format course and the
Asynchronous format course starts summer 2025. Sign-up for our mailing list HERE to be notified when registration opens for the next courses.
Citizen Artist™ - a participatory science research and education platform, employs Art-Based Perceptual Ecology (ABPE) research methodologies. At Citizen Artist™, we are building a diverse, global community trained in best practices within a transdisciplinary research framework, to mutually learn from and explore new pathways to address current ecological/social challenges. To learn more about this global community 'Citizen Artist™ Café' and how you can be involved, go HERE.
* NEW Offering! Asynchronous format Online Course - 6-units over 3 months. *
'Deep immersion into Art-Based Perceptual Ecology methods'
Asynchronous learning format - giving you the freedom to learn when and where you want. Start anytime.
In this very experiential online course, you will be introduced to Art-Based Perceptual Ecology (ABPE) research methodologies, non-conventional field-based research methods grounded in multimodal knowledge systems, sensory-based learning and framed within ecological and biological principles. The ABPE methods and tools have application to studying changes in ecological systems, addressing such critical issues as biodiversity decline, habitat loss and effects from climate change.
*To learn more details about the course go HERE. The asynchronous online course is the same content as the 6-week Online Hybrid format course.
NEW Workshop! Citizen Artist™ at Shortridge Coastal Center, Maine - June 22-26
"Art-Based Perceptual Ecology (ABPE) research methodologies to study changes in coastal systems."
"Doing Science - Take a new look at an existing problem - coastal ecological systems - in a new way." More information HERE.
EcoArt Expeditions
Adventure - Education - Research - Art
Let's Go Outside!
Learn about your local ecology through place-based, embodied, and sensory explorations.
Experience art as a way of knowing. Gain appreciation for the beauty of the natural environment.
Work in the field alongside naturalist, researcher, educator, and artist, Dr. Lee Ann Woolery to increase your depth of knowledge and understanding of the natural world. She will teach you 'other ways of knowing' ecological systems. Learn how to read the land’s gestures, codes, and signs by developing skills in keen sensory observation. And learn how to translate your experience into a visual language. Dr. Woolery promises you will gain the ability to slow down; pay attention to detail; engage in your senses beyond sight; get out of your head and into your sentient body; and truly experience the natural world - perhaps for the first time.
