Two artists--a photographer and a fine art printmaker--are collaborating with scientists to create an interdisciplinary art and education project titled, The Transparency of Ice and Deep Time in Antarctica. The project artists will embed with multiple science teams to facilitate learning about U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP) ice-core research while simultaneously documenting science in action. Portraits of scientists, visual documentation of their equipment, and the larger Antarctic landscape will act as artistic muses and the visual basis of their artworks. The resulting art will incorporate scientists' written descriptions of their work and polar experiences. The project's aim is to help elucidate for the public the USAP ice-coring and climate studies, which reveal ecological processes over long temporal and broad spatial scales. The artist'? printed artworks will be collated into a monumentally scaled limited edition artist book. In addition, the artists' framed work will be widely disseminated through traditional fine art and other venues and form the foundation of original, art-based educational and outreach materials.The artists will be based at McMurdo and from there make trips to several field camps to observe drilling and ice core recovery operations. The project will include fine art photography (landscape, portrait, and documentary styles) and handmade prints (woodcuts) with the latter being created with a specialized printmaking press post fieldwork. Both project artists will print their artworks onto archival Washi papers that will ultimately constitute the pages of a large-scale artist book. Annotations written by the field scientists will be incorporated in the artworks and exhibitions. The artist books will be museum-grade, limited edition art objects. Additionally, the artists will create exhibition materials (including framed artworks and scientists' writings) suitable for a broad array of venues including, but not limited to, art, children?s and science museums. While in Antarctica, the artists plan to conduct outreach activities (via Skype) with elementary and college-levels classrooms. Upon return, they will develop STEAM-based (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) lesson plans for elementary school students and a university-level seminar course. The resulting educational resources will reside on the project's online, educational website. This award is an Antarctic Artists and Writers project supported by NSF's Office of Polar Programs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

两位艺术家——一名摄影师和一名美术版画师——正在与科学家合作创建一个跨学科艺术和教育项目，名为“南极洲冰的透明度和深层时间”。该项目的艺术家将加入多个科学团队，以促进了解美国南极计划（USAP）的冰芯研究，同时记录行动中的科学。 科学家的肖像、他们的设备的视觉记录以及更大的南极景观将成为他们艺术作品的艺术灵感和视觉基础。由此产生的艺术作品将融合科学家对其工作和极地经历的书面描述。该项目的目的是帮助公众阐明 USAP 冰芯和气候研究，这些研究揭示了长期和广泛空间尺度上的生态过程。艺术家'？印刷的艺术品将被整理成一本规模巨大的限量版艺术家书籍。 此外，艺术家的框架作品将通过传统美术和其他场所广泛传播，并形成原创的、基于艺术的教育和宣传材料的基础。艺术家们将以麦克默多为基地，并从那里前往几个野外营地，观察钻探和冰芯回收作业。 该项目将包括美术摄影（风景、肖像和纪实风格）和手工版画（木刻），后者是由专门的版画出版社在实地考察后创作的。两位项目艺术家都将把他们的艺术作品印刷到档案纸上，这些纸张最终将构成一本大型艺术家书籍的页面。 由现场科学家撰写的注释将被纳入艺术品和展览中。 艺术家书籍将是博物馆级的限量版艺术品。 此外，艺术家们还将创作适合各种场所的展览材料（包括镶框艺术品和科学家的著作），包括但不限于艺术、儿童和科学博物馆。在南极洲期间，艺术家们计划在小学和大学课堂上开展外展活动（通过 Skype）。 回国后，他们将为小学生制定基于 STEAM（科学、技术、工程、艺术、数学）的课程计划和大学水平的研讨会课程。由此产生的教育资源将驻留在该项目的在线教育网站上。该奖项是由 NSF 极地项目办公室支持的南极艺术家和作家项目。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
