Instructing her daughter to practice throwing knives, the police were frightened and asked to file

At Qin Lan'er's suggestion, the team members began a heated discussion.

"This plan is very meaningful," said Li Fang, the team's technical expert. "I suggest that we incorporate some more interactive elements, such as using VR technology to simulate different water resource pollution and protection scenarios, so that the audience can experience the importance of water resources firsthand."

Lu Wan nodded: "Li Fang's suggestion is very good. In addition, I think we can invite some well-known environmental artists to participate. Their works have a strong influence and appeal. We can hold a global solicitation event to select the most creative and influential works."

Qin Lan'er thought for a moment and said, "That's a good idea. I can contact some artist friends to see if they are interested in participating. In addition, we can also consider cooperating with some environmental protection organizations and promote our exhibition through their channels."

As the meeting continued, everyone actively put forward their ideas and suggestions. Finally, the team developed a detailed plan, including the theme, content, technical implementation and promotion strategy of the exhibition.

A few months later, the exhibition, titled "Voices of Water," was finally unveiled at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The exhibition is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different water conservation theme, including river protection, ocean cleaning, and groundwater protection.

On the opening day of the exhibition, the venue was crowded with many media and visitors who came to take a look. Qin Lan'er and her team members greeted every guest at the entrance.

A reporter came forward to interview Qin Lan'er: "Ms. Qin, could you please tell us about the original intention and purpose of this exhibition?"

Qin Laner smiled and replied: "The original intention of the 'Voice of Water' exhibition is to arouse the public's attention to water resource protection through art. Water is the source of life, but many people do not realize the limited water resources and the importance of protection. We hope to show everyone the preciousness of water resources and the urgency of protection through these works of art."

The reporter continued to ask: "Can you introduce any special highlights in the exhibition?"

Qin Laner said: "There are many interactive elements in our exhibition, such as the ocean pollution and cleaning process simulated by VR technology, and some works by well-known artists, such as the 'Blue Planet' by French artist Elsa, which is made of blue paint and discarded plastic bottles and is very shocking."

With the successful holding of the "Voice of Water" exhibition in many international metropolises, Qin Lan'er and her team decided to set the next stop in China's Magic City.

As an international metropolis, Shanghai has a profound cultural heritage and a huge audience group, which is of great significance in promoting the concept of water resource protection.

At a team meeting, Qin Laner introduced the specific plan for the Shanghai exhibition: "Our exhibition in Shanghai should not only continue the previous successful experience, but also combine the local cultural characteristics. For example, the Huangpu River is the mother river of Shanghai. Through the exhibition, we can let the audience understand the history and current situation of the Huangpu River and the importance of protecting the Huangpu River."

Li Fang took over the topic: "We can add more local elements to this exhibition, such as inviting artists from Shanghai to participate in the creation, and at the same time display some historical documents and video materials about Huang Pujiang, so that the audience can have a stronger sense of substitution."

Lu Wan offered her own suggestion: “In addition to art exhibitions, we can also organize some environmental protection lectures and workshops, inviting environmental experts and scholars to interact with the audience and share their research and experience.”

The team members all agreed and began to prepare for the Shanghai exhibition. A few months later, the "Voice of Water" Shanghai exhibition was held as scheduled. On the opening day, a long queue formed in front of the Shanghai Museum, and many citizens arrived early.

At the opening ceremony of the exhibition, Qin Laner delivered a brief speech: "Hello everyone, thank you for coming to the 'Voice of Water' exhibition. Shanghai is a city full of vitality and cultural heritage, and the Huangpu River is the soul of this city. I hope that through this exhibition, we can arouse everyone's attention to water resource protection. Let us work together to protect our home."

After the speech, the audience flocked into the exhibition hall. The exhibition is divided into several parts, including the history of Huangpu River, modern water conservation technology, and water conservation concepts displayed through art works. Each part is designed to be highly interactive, attracting a large number of visitors to stop and watch.

In a VR experience area, visitors put on VR glasses and felt as if they were on the bank of the Huangpu River, experiencing the changes and protection process of the Huangpu River. A little girl took off her glasses and said to her mother excitedly: "Mom, I saw the Huangpu River in the past, it was so beautiful! We must protect it well!"

The little girl's mother smiled and nodded: "Yes, protecting the environment is the responsibility of each of us. Today's exhibition is really meaningful."

Meanwhile, in the environmental protection lecture area, a well-known environmental scholar was sharing his research findings with the audience. He said: "The Huangpu River is a symbol of Shanghai, but with the development of the city, it is also facing many environmental problems. We need to protect the Huangpu River through scientific methods and public participation to keep it clear and beautiful forever."

The audience listened with great interest and asked questions from time to time, and the scholars patiently answered them one by one. The atmosphere of the whole lecture was lively and the audience said they benefited a lot.

On the other side of the exhibition, a local artist from Shanghai was painting a picture about the Huangpu River. His painting attracted many onlookers. The artist explained while painting: "I hope that through this painting, everyone can see the beauty of the Huangpu River and the challenges it faces. Art is a good way of expression, and I hope it can attract more people's attention to water resource protection."

The audience expressed their appreciation. A young environmental volunteer said to the artist: "Your paintings are so beautiful. After seeing them, I feel even more how important it is to protect the Huangpu River. Thank you for using art to awaken our environmental awareness." The artist smiled and responded: "Thank you for your support. Each of us is part of environmental protection. I hope you can also contribute to the protection of the Huangpu River in your own way."

As the exhibition progressed, Qin Lan'er and her team members kept patrolling the exhibition hall and listening to the audience's feedback. An elderly audience member found Qin Lan'er and said, "This exhibition is really great. I lived by the Huangpu River when I was young and watched it change little by little. I hope that through your efforts, the Huangpu River will continue to be beautiful."

Qin Lan'er responded with emotion: "Thank you for your support. We will continue to work hard to promote water resource protection through art and technology. I also hope that you can pass this concept to more people and let everyone participate."

The successful holding of the exhibition not only attracted a large number of citizens, but also aroused extensive attention from the media. Major media outlets reported on the grand occasion of the exhibition, and many environmental protection organizations and scholars also came to visit and exchange ideas.

In a media interview, Qin Laner was asked about her future plans. She said: "The 'Voice of Water' exhibition has been a great success in Shanghai, which is the result of our team's joint efforts. In the future, we plan to bring this exhibition to more cities to let more people understand and participate in water resource protection. At the same time, we will continue to develop new exhibition themes, such as forest protection, air quality, etc., so that art can become an important force for environmental protection."

At the same time, Qin Yueer's Environmental Art Education Forum has also launched a series of activities in Shanghai. This forum provides a platform for teachers who are keen on environmental education to communicate and learn, and jointly explore how to better integrate environmental protection concepts into art education.

At the forum, Qin Yueer was enthusiastically sharing her views and experiences with teachers. At this time, a senior teacher asked: "Ms. Qin, what do you think about the importance of environmental art education in today's society? How can we effectively convey this concept in actual teaching?"

Qin Yueer pondered for a moment, then said affectionately: "Environmental art education is not only about art, but also about our future. In this era, environmental problems are becoming increasingly serious, and each of us has the responsibility to pay attention to and protect our planet. Art education is a force that can touch people's hearts. Through art, we can let children feel the beauty of nature and the fragility of the environment more intuitively, thereby cultivating their environmental awareness."

She paused and continued, "In actual teaching, we can combine the course content and guide students to express their understanding and feelings about environmental protection through artistic creation. For example, we can organize students to carry out activities such as painting, photography or handicrafts with the theme of environmental protection, so that they can deeply understand the importance of environmental protection in the creative process."

At this time, another young teacher said excitedly: "This is a great idea! I have tried to let students make handicrafts using waste before. Not only did they have fun, but they also learned a lot about environmental protection. This method can really make students more actively participate in environmental protection actions."

Qin Yueer nodded in agreement: "Yes, it is this kind of entertaining way of teaching that can make students truly understand and accept the concept of environmental protection. Moreover, through this method, we can also cultivate students' innovative thinking and practical ability, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

The discussion on the forum became more and more heated, and teachers shared their teaching experiences and insights. Qin Yueer also listened with great interest and nodded in agreement from time to time.

Suddenly, a teacher who had just returned from abroad asked: "Ms. Qin, what do you think are the differences between environmental art education at home and abroad? What successful experiences can we learn from abroad?"

Qin Yueer thought for a moment and replied, "There are indeed some differences between environmental art education at home and abroad. Abroad, some advanced environmental art education programs are already very mature. They focus on students' practical experience and sense of participation, and often organize students to conduct field trips and environmental protection projects. This kind of education method can make students understand environmental issues more intuitively and cultivate their ability to solve practical problems. We can learn from this practical teaching method, combine it with our actual situation, and carry out more innovative environmental art education activities."

The teachers all agreed and began to discuss how to apply these successful experiences to their own teaching. The atmosphere in the forum became more and more enthusiastic, and everyone was full of expectations and confidence for the future.

As the forum progressed, Qin Yueer and the teachers discussed more topics about environmental art education. They not only shared their teaching experiences, but also discussed how to better integrate environmental protection concepts into campus cultural construction, and how to promote environmental protection concepts through art exhibitions and performances. Everyone actively participated and contributed their wisdom and strength to the development of environmental art education.

When the discussion reached a climax, a young teacher from BJ, Ms. Zhang, said, "Ms. Qin, the field trip you just mentioned is very interesting. There are also some environmental protection projects around our school, such as wetland protection areas. Can we use these resources to organize students to conduct field studies and investigations?"

Qin Yue'er's eyes flashed with excitement: "This is a great idea! Field trips can not only allow students to understand environmental issues more intuitively, but also cultivate their observation and inquiry spirit. We can design some specific investigation activities, such as recording animals and plants in wetlands, analyzing changes in water quality, and interviewing local environmental protection workers, so that students can learn through practice."

Teacher Zhang nodded in agreement: "Yes, such activities can not only enhance students' environmental awareness, but also help them learn more scientific knowledge. We can combine biology, geography and other courses to carry out interdisciplinary environmental protection projects."

Another teacher, Mr. Liu, went on to say, “Interdisciplinary projects are indeed very meaningful. I once led students in a small tree planting activity, combining knowledge from biology classes with hands-on tree planting to help students understand the growth process and ecological significance of trees. Such activities were very effective and students were very active in participating.”

Qin Yueer encouraged with a smile: "Very good! The tree planting activity is a good start. We can also consider more practical activities, such as campus garbage sorting, energy conservation projects, etc. Through these activities, students can develop environmental protection habits from an early age."

At this time, a teacher from Shanghai, Mr. Li, asked: "Ms. Qin, how do you think we can better combine art with environmental education? Our school has some art courses, but how can we make these courses more meaningful for environmental education?"

Qin Yueer thought for a moment and replied: "There are many ways to combine art and environmental protection. For example, students can use waste materials to create art, so that they can realize the importance of waste utilization." (End of this chapter)
