1. I think there is a conflicted relationship between humanity and nature. This conflict is both healthy and unhealthy. A healthy conflicted relationship because there is a lot of people giving back to earth and use nature as their resources. An unhealthy conflicted relationship because some beings have taken advantage of the earth and make it worse every day. Thus, nature response is natural disasters, such as pollution.

2. My relationship with nature is a working- progress to a healthy relationship. I have a fear of bugs/ insects and stops me from going out. For example, I love taking walks through the forest, but I won’t be able to enjoy it as much because of my phobia. I try to recycle, I  don’t litter and I try to use products that are cruelty-free. Going out on nature walks in school has calmed me down more. Throughout my day I would be awake a little more than I was. Going outdoors to create environmental art was really fun and cleared my mind from things that distresses me.

3. Environmental factors that affect people are diseases, polluted water, sun exposure, climate change, global warming, water, plant growth, rain etc. These factors can be both positive and negative to beings. For example, a negative factor could be polluted water since it harms people. We can become very ill.  A positive factor is rain since it helps plants grow. Thus, through plants, we receive clean air (cellular respiration) and food.

4. Humanity has affected natural environments in negative ways such as soil pollution, water pollution, air pollution, littering, global warming, filling our body waters with trash, deforestation and fishing/hunting. Humanity has an effect to natural environments in positive ways such as removal of invasive species, recycling, captive breeding and using renewable energy sources (windmills, solar panels, etc.)

5. Climate and temperature can affect the process and time. For example, Andy was using ice and the sun's heat has caused it to melt. Another example is when I was constructing Winnie the Pooh out of leaves. It was really windy that day which blew the leaves away.

6. My first art installation outdoor was a necklace made out of dried leaves and wheat. Instead of using leaves that are attached to trees I used the leaves on the ground. I respected the season of fall and let nature make the falling of the leaves. Thus, I won't be responsible for corruption. The wheat was flexible so I was able to make a circle, but it was also fragile. The wheat will break on its own slowly and make my necklace shorter each time. I tried to wrap it around a log but, it kept breaking. The second art installation was made after I had basketball practice. My little sister wanted to go out on a nature walk to the forest near our house. We saw many red and yellow leaves all over.  I was inspired by Nils- Udo. He only used materials from nature. Through his artwork, I saw how beautiful the season fall could be.  Using red and yellow leaves, I made the character Winnie the Pooh. However, that day was really windy and the leaves were flying all around. It took a long time to get the job done. I also struggle taking pictures. It was a challenge trying to understand how my older sister's camera works and how to use other techniques. It took a lot of patience and time to take a good clear picture. After this assignment, I want to continue making art outside. This was a very cool experience for me and hope to have more new environmental artworks next year.

7.  I really loved the idea of the art IN the environment and want to do the same thing for my art ABOUT the environment. The message I want to display is the beauty of nature and to stop animal extinction. I also want to combine natural materials and art materials such as string, paint, or ink.

"We often forget WE ARE NATURE. Nature is not something seperate from us. So when we say that we lost our connection to nature, we've lost our connection to ourselves."
