	CalArts Collaborates Course/Clase

	










During the 2022-2023 school year, the CalArts School of Film/Video and School of Art’s Graphic Design program partnered with The Nature Conservancy on a campaign about the Bowtie Wetland Demonstration Project.&#38;nbsp; In the year-long CalArts Collaborates class, mixed teams of Animator/Filmmakers and Graphic Designers collaborated to create bilingual multimedia projects that will educate the local community about the transformation of a neglected “brownfield” along the LA River into the Bowtie Wetland Demonstration.


Teams of students conducted research and site visits, generated concepts and pitched projects to The Nature Conservancy leadership, producing a variety of multimedia art projects.&#38;nbsp; The class culminated in a public exhibition at CalCreative, and The Nature Conservancy will continue using the students’ work at eductional events and in virtual communications.&#38;nbsp; This year-long elective course was led by Melissa Ferrari (animation), with co-teachers Jacinto Astiazarán (live action documentary)&#38;nbsp;in Fall 2022 and with Lorin Brown (graphic design) in Spring 2023.

About/Sobre
 The Nature Conservancy






	










The Nature Conservancy (TNC), the leading global conservation organization, works around the world protecting ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people. TNC’s goals in Los Angeles are to treat stormwater using natural infrastructure, address urban challenges using nature-based solutions, and enhance biodiversity across the urban landscape. One key strategy for achieving these goals is to create a proof-of-concept multi-benefit stormwater capture demonstration project. TNC and their consultants are leading the design and implementation of the Bowtie Wetland Demonstration, in partnership with California State Parks.The Nature Conservancy (TNC), la principal organización mundial de conservación, trabaja en todo el mundo para proteger tierras y aguas ecológicamente importantes para la naturaleza y las personas. Los objetivos de TNC en Los Ángeles son tratar las aguas pluviales utilizando infraestructura natural, abordar los desafíos urbanos utilizando soluciones basadas en la naturaleza y mejorar la biodiversidad en todo el paisaje urbano. Una estrategia clave para lograr estos objetivos es crear un proyecto de demostración de captura de aguas pluviales que es una prueba del concepto y que contiene múltiples beneficios.

Café de Aves es un cortometraje animado con imágenes de acción en vivo de La Demostración del Humedal de Bowtie en Los Ángeles. La historia, que sigue a un grupo de amigos emplumados que frecuentan un café ficticio ubicado en el lugar del proyecto, explora temas de migración, biodiversidad y comunidad. La película está ambientada en un futuro próximo, después de la finalización del proyecto, y celebra el nuevo entorno natural y floreciente gracias a los esfuerzos de limpieza del agua y mejora del hábitat del proyecto.


Para acompañar la película, los artistas han creado una guía para el lector que presenta información sobre las aves, juegos, páginas para colorear y más. Puede descargar el folleto en el sitio del proyecto.
