[Osta-board] Good project for OSTA Regional Directors

[Bernie Carlsen]

Good morning, Sue,

     This would be a good project for your Regional Directors.  It would
get them in contact with schools in their region and it would be good PR
for you to show that your organization is helping promote science education
throughout all of Oregon.

     Peace and friendship,  Bernie

Please forward to the Curriculum Department of the Oregon Science Teachers
Association:



For the past 26 years I have painted native plants *en plein aire* in their
native Oregon habitats. In May 2011 I exhibited 72 paintings organized by
the state's eight ecoregions in the Moreland Gallery at the Benton County
Historical Museum entitled *Oregon's Botanical :Landscape: An Opportunity
to Imagine Oregon Before 1800*. See the eight minute video of the
exhibition below.

The Benton County Cultural Coalition awarded me a grant to print books
based on the exhibition for all the schools and libraries in Benton County.
Short texts accompanying each painting include scientific, artistic, and
cultural information. Habitat information and distribution maps are also
included. The formatted manuscript-in-progress has been endorsed by Dr E O
Wilson from Harvard University and Dr Fred Swanson geologist from the US
Forest Service. Four Benton County educators have reviewed the manuscript
and are eager to get the book into their classrooms.



I would like the book to be available to schools in all the counties in the
state. Would the Oregon State Teachers' Association be interested in
shepherding the book into schools, libraries or classrooms in the other 35
counties? I will be glad to send excerpts of the manuscript to you.



The book is dedicated "To the next generation and the next; may you always
have a sense of home." I use the subjects of science and the ways of art to
create in the participant viewer's imagination a sense of the volume of air
above the land we call Oregon.



I appreciate your interest in my project.





Sincerely,



Frances Stilwell
