| 英文简介 | Goals / Objectives The Southwest Plant Collection and Identification proposal will provide opportunities for Student Experiential Learning by offering students a more practical artistic experience based in science. The science courses will invite artists from our Artist-in-Residence (A-i-R) program into our science labs. The IAIA A-i-R Program hosts artists for variable-length residencies taking place on the IAIA campus during the Academic year. Each A-i-R program provides opportunities for Native and First Nations artists to travel to the IAIA campus in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for a meaningful period of art-making and interaction with IAIA students, staff and faculty, and the Santa Fe arts community. Applicants whose work engages with cultural traditions through materials, techniques and subject matter are particularly encouraged to apply. IAIA will generally host 15 artists each year.Each semester at least one artist using natural plant dyes andGoals /or other plant materials in their art will be included in the science course syllabus. This intergenerational learning experience will enhance student appreciation of this indigenous art form along with allowing an exploration of the varied plants used by each artist. In this way we hope to encourage students to utilize more of the natural world in their artistic expressions while also teaching them the need to preserve their ecological heritage.In addition, each summer we plan to hire a student worker to perform curatorial duties in the IAIA herbarium. These will include: organizing the plants within the insect-proof herbarium cases, checking plant identifications for accuracy and also inputting label information into a database.Botanically, New Mexico is the 4th most diverse state in the United States, with over 3300 different species of plants. Identifying plants is a difficult task even under the best of circumstances. To become somewhat proficient requires taking at least several botany classes. It is not feasible for the Institute of American Indian Arts to offer a broad range of botanical classes to our students. To address this issue, we propose to create an IAIA Herbarium.A herbarium is basically a collection - a visual display - of dried pressed plant specimens. IAIA is primarily an art school and as faculty we take every opportunity to incorporate visual learning into the curriculum. Therefore, to augment the visual learning strengths of our Native American students we will create an IAIA Herbarium on campus. Visually examining a plant specimen and comparing it to a correctly identified specimen, will enable students to know and understand these New Mexico plants. Not only does this complement the Native American tradition of storytelling but because it relies heavily on visual recognition, a much more efficient way to learn plant identification.Project Methods Herbaria preserve a historical record of change in vegetation over time. In some cases, plants become extinct in one area or may become extinct altogether. In such cases, specimens preserved in a herbarium can represent the only record of the plant's original distribution. Environmental scientists make use of such data to track changes in climate and human impact. Our goal is to collect plants from many other parts of northern New Mexico and become a repository for plant specimens from all of New Mexico's northern pueblos and reservations. This will facilitate the identification of unknown plants and we also hope to provide an online database that would be accessible to tribal environmental agencies. |
