Abstract

Visual representations help students understand spatial relationships and ecological concepts. The research demonstrates that visual arts enhance comprehension of topics such as climate change and sustainability. Students were able to creatively represent environmental challenges and solutions. The approach also promotes environmental awareness and responsibility. Teachers observed increased engagement and participation. Challenges include lack of materials and training. The paper recommends integrating visual literacy into curricula. It concludes that visual arts are powerful tools for environmental education.
