Title:	Re-Connecting Adolescents with Nature using Environmental Art and Photography
Author:	Popovich, Patricia A.
Description:	The lives of today's youth are so influenced by technology that many believe they are rapidly disconnecting from nature and its benefits. This grounded theory research explores meaningful interactions within a natural setting, environmental art, and the use of digital photography with adolescents. Data was gathered from questionnaires, personal process reflections, and the researcher's observations and interactions with the participants. Resources supporting the basis for this research were derived from environmental art, ecopsychology research, and ancient cultural wisdom. Conclusions from this study indicate that through the use of environmental art and photography, adolescents can reconnect with a natural environment. Through their active participation within a natural setting, they can enhance well-being, raise awareness regarding ecological commitment, enhance self-awareness, and recognize the power of place.
