Beijing resident Zou Yi set out to illustrate the pollution problem in the city by taking the same photo, at the same time each day, and creating a mosaic of the

resulting images.

"Like a lot of people... "I forget [PM2.5] readings as soon as I read them. A picture is worth a thousand words. If you see the same place, at the same time over a full year, the quality of the air becomes perceptible immediately." -Zou Yi

“Students rely on personal

observations and perceptions, which are developed through increasing

visual literacy

and sensitivity to surroundings, communities, memories, imaginings,

and life experiences, as sources for

thinking about, planning, and creating original artworks...

While exercising meaningful problem-solving skills, students

develop the lifelong ability to make informed judgments.” -§117.202. Art, Middle School 1, Adopted 2013

students...worked together to create a community

participatory map, where anyone could report on the

availability of gas at stations they were visiting.

The project earned praise from US Sect. of Energy,

Steven Chu: ‘Your innovative use of social media and

mapping technology to make live fuel supply data

streams available filled a significant community

information gap.’”
