Human Footprint

Food For Thought.


Our pupils are currently working (both in Art and English) on the idea of prints in any forms , fingerprints, footprints, ecological footprints. That theme is related to the study of environmental issues andthe way artists can respond to the challenge of an ever changing world.
Since the world around us demands that we reduce our carbone footprint, we may wonder about our own trail on the ground, literally .
The thing is, up to what point?
What will become of us if we keep on red
ucing our footprints, in other words reducing up to ground zero, does that mean eventually ..disappear?
A tricky and even philosophical question
....And some answers :

Our pupils will have to create a production symbolizing the theme and we'll put it online.
