AP Drawing
I used my art to explore the impact I have on nature. I noticed several destructive habits we as a society have in regards to nature, so I created pieces that would reflect how our actions can either have negative effects, or positive effects on nature.
"Picked" An innocent act like picking a flower can be destructive -oil pastels on mat board
"Birthing Life" The uniting act of planting brings life to our environment and communities - oil pastels on mat board
"Painted" We should appreciate the beauty of nature, but we should also respect it and help it thrive - watercolor on watercolor paper for forest - oil pastel on multipurpose paper for hand
"Ignorant" We often focus too much on ourselves, that we become ignorant to the world around us and our environment - graphite and charcoal on matt board
"Separated" We have put a barrier between society and nature, that makes it hard for us to see our impact on nature and it's impact on us - alcohol based markers on mat board
"Nuisance" We can view aspects of nature as being a nuisance, and therefore we act without seeing the effect of our choices - graphite and charcoal on mat board
