CAES is an organization that focuses on the teaching and investigation of the role of art in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). As a form of art education, the work of CAES rests on four focal elements: the study of pre-modern art processes, which broadens and nurtures our ability to identify potential in the resources available for the production of art materials; the exploration of the immediate natural and built environment, which informs our ability to use it as a tool for teaching and learning; interbeing (Anderson et al, 2012), which is the act of bonding with others and our environment; and our ability to connect art education with environmental education.
