The Ethnosphere
By Wade Davis
The class will be introduced to National Geographic's Explorer Wade Davis who teaches about what he calls the ethnosphere, a word he uses to describe the imaginative contributions of humanity to the planet. He makes emphasis on people's stories. They are global resources, just like air, water, and green life. Just like the biosphere, the ethnosphere is also threatened by rampant modernization and globalization.
Turning Pages of Magazines Into Surreal Collages
Given the materials given in class (National Geographic magazines), create a group collage. After experiencing the activity, plan a lesson with your group members.

Every morning I wake up to this collage and it is a beautiful part of my day. It is so colorful, bright, happy, and loving and reminds me to be happy and loving. I love the quotes because they serve as constant reminders throughout my day. Lastly, the different images spark my creativity and get my ideas flowing.

Title: Falling into Fall
I decided to do a collage inspired by the beauty of fall. Since it’s September, I’m excited for sweater weather, fall decor, pumpkin flavor, leaves changing, and drinking something hot under a cozy blanket. I had an Autumn Bliss magazine laying around the house, so I cut out a bunch of images that I feel are the most aesthetically pleasing and best represent what fall means to me. This was a really fun and relaxing activity that I would definitely encourage my students to do. It lets you express yourself and something you’re interested in through an artistic piece. In classes, collages could even be done about a specific topic such as history or science.

An Individual Etnosphere
The collage I created includes images of my travels, my home, my family, my friends, and I. All these aspects of my life have made me who I am and developed my morals, beliefs, and thoughts. I thought this collage would be interesting to make because this is my own personal Etnosphere. If I had to title this piece I would likely name it "An Individual Etnosphere". I included some drawing in it as well because I enjoy drawing, I ripped all the pages and only used glue, paper, and my hands to create this piece. I enjoy making collages and do it often, as well as drawing.

In the following collage, I used many aspects of nature because I feel like being in nature can provide so many benefits. It lowers stress and anxiety, releases endorphins, and makes you feel better in general. I also included my dog in there because she usually goes with me. This collage is inspirational to me because over the summer I learned how important getting sun and nature is for a person's mental health. As a result, I wanted the collage to be based on the environment, because it inspires me to get better and better each day, and take in the world around me.

Enjoying the Moments
This collage is called “Enjoying the moments.” I made this collage to bring me happiness, remind myself to enjoy the little moments and have fun. My day is very busy so it’s nice to be reminded to take a breath and enjoy the little things in life.

Mamba Mentality
This is the collage that I made to inspire myself to work hard and stay
positive everyday. Kobe is my favorite basketball player and his mamba
mentality always strive me for greatness. I would like to name this
"mamba mentality".
Artist: Rachel Rader
Vacation Dreaming...
Although I was not able to present in class on Thursday due to Yom Kippur, I am very excited to share my collage called vacation dreaming. The title is self explanatory and shows the idealization of going on vacation. Covid-19 has definitely halted everyones vacation plans and I think we are all dreaming of a getaway. I included people, locations, food, activities, scents, and moods so that I could capture the dreamy vacation vibes with all of the 5 senses!
Artist: Allison Rubin
Inspiration
The collage I created includes pictures from my inspiration mood board of my home which is my happy place, fashion inspiration, views, and food that I really enjoy. These are all things that inspire me and make me feel motivated to be a creator. I really enjoy looking at this collage because it helps me feel inspired. I would call this collage “Inspiration”

TAL 324 G
Our collage was titled "Fight or Flight". The collage depicts an ocean and sky where there are birds and a shark. The birds symbolize the flight and the shark represents the fight. Our collage, although simplistic, shows a common conflict people experience in life. This lesson can be used in classrooms to allow students to understand the idea of decision making.
The Jungle
The name of our collage is "The Jungle." Our piece represents how animals live in their natural environment and survive. Each animal is unique and different. They are able to balance and benefit off one another. They are forming a balanced ecosystem together. Just like humans, we all need each other to live a good long life.

Aliens are Alive
Our piece ties into creativity and imagination in students. Even though school is very focus-oriented, we want kids to know it is ok to think outside the box and use their imagination.
