Abstract

This paper discusses the Painted River Project (PRP)" a collaborative science and art workshop held with a year 6 class at Forest Lodge Public School, Sydney as part of National Science Week in August 2020.It introduces the concept of Planetary Health and how the PRP fits into this wider agenda, outlines the preparation, activities and resultant student work conducted as part of the PRP field study workshop, before going on to report on some of the educational, social and community outcomes. The PRP is a model of transdisciplinary action research and engagement that seeks to communicate the nexus between nature, culture and society through the practices of art, science and design.
