Abstract

Artwork created by children can effectively communicate science content, especially for topics that are of universal concern for the public but may cause apprehension, like climate change. This commentary describes artwork from a youth art contest about climate change in which the winning art was displayed on public buses. Young artists learned about climate science while creating images that adults and youth easily engaged with in public spaces. Thus, we suggest that connecting youth with science through art, and then using youth-generated art to engage the general public in science learning can be an effective vehicle for science communication.

青年是气候变化的使者:一张图片胜过千言万语

儿童创作的艺术作品可以有效地传达科学内容，尤其是公众普遍关注但可能引起担忧的话题，如气候变化。这篇评论描述了一场关于气候变化的青年艺术比赛中的艺术作品，获胜的艺术作品被展示在公共巴士上。年轻艺术家在创作成人和年轻人在公共空间轻松参与的图像时学习了气候科学。因此，我们建议通过艺术将青年与科学联系起来，然后利用青年产生的艺术让公众参与科学学习，这可以成为科学交流的有效工具。
