Clifton Pugh PRINTMAKER Clifton Pugh Australia 1924 - 1990 Wombat thinking 1980 etching A/P 15.2 x 10.8 cm Master Printer: Max Miller The Dunmoochin Foundation Art Collection held at La Trobe University Page 30 Exploring and Responding Book Club Did you know… An adult wombat grows to about 1 metre in length but it is only about 2cm long at birth! The newborn wombat is tiny, hairless and unable to see. In Book Club you can read the tale of Digger’s Mate as illustrated by Pugh. Joyce and her dog, Digger discover a newborn wombat and take her into their care. An Inconvenient Truth Pugh believed educating the young was fundamental to tackling awareness on conservation issues. The same message is true of 2006 film An Inconvenient Truth. The closing statement by Al Gore runs as follows: Future generations may well have occasion to ask themselves: ‘What were our parents thinking? Why didn’t they wake up when they had a chance? We have to hear that question, from them, now.’ In small groups discuss the following questions: Do you believe that parents and guardians have a personal responsibility to raise the awareness of their children to environmental issues such as global warming and its effect on our environment? Do you agree with Pugh and Al Gore and their belief that the education of children is key to the success of conservation? How would you answer the questions in the quote above?
