The integration of Finnish and Chinese cultures strongly influences my research. Particularly, my interests are the Finnish education model of ecological sustainability and practicality and the use of natural materials in Chinese art. I aim to integrate art and science in teaching to foster creativity and ecological awareness. This article adopts Räsänen’s (2008) theory of contemporary art as a platform for integrating ecological themes. Utilizing an art-based action research method (Jokela et al., 2019) I explore the integration of ecology and arts in different cultural contexts, focusing on art education at the crossroads of cultures.
