Jot dot all the things you see in here related to those three spheres and the way the artist is either critiquing Durango or attempting to inspire a more sustainable way forward. Share-out analyses and contrast to the 1872 painting, "American Progress" by Johnathon Gast Sustainable Development Project Brainstorm! Project Essential Question: What needs to be sustained more holistically in our own community and how might we do so in a way that takes into consideration environmental, economic and social/cultural needs? Framing: It is time to choose an issue of sustainability for us to focus on as a class for our final project. But first, you need research one issue of interest to you and write a proposal for why we should select that issue! More to come on that!
