June Julian’s paintings of old trees provided a strong basis for the aesthetic inquiry research methodology for her doctoral research at New York University. In 1994, from that phenomenological grounding, she developed a pioneering ecology art education project on the World Wide Web, and then invited the world to join in. With a genesis in her studio art practice, her research objective in “Ecology Art Education On-Line: A World Community of Old Trees” was to examine the potential of the World Wide Web as a medium for communication and exchange for ecology art education.
