Nature's Artistry: A Collective Inspiration (Period 1) by Thomas Draa [Desert Oasis HS]

(Charlee Stones P1) Elephantree

2024-04-10 14:21:28 UTC

This is a work of art created by Craig to represent an elephant and tree mix or hybrid. I think this piece really well represents nature as a whole, meaning the tree and as well as its inhabitants, or elephants. Elephants are considered an endangered species, so i believe the artist was trying to capture their beauty.

The Unfolding Apocalypse: Jennie Vang (Avery Bautista P1)

averysc2043804 — 2024-04-10 14:51:22 UTC

I chose this art because it reminds me of the book cover for The Great Gatsby. In the book, there’s an eye billboard looking over the City of Ashes. This setting is where the lower class lives and the billboard is a symbolism of God watching over those less fortunate. Looking at Vang’s art makes me think both eyes represent beauty and destruction. When will humans see the bigger picture which consists of Earth’s downfall and beauty? Vang's art can mean a lot of things which is why art holds so much power.

Amongst the Fruits of Our Labor by Madjeen Isaac || Riley Webster, Period 1

riley357576 — 2024-04-10 19:55:25 UTC

This piece was created by Brooklyn-based artist Madjeen Isaac. Being the daughter of Haitian immigrant parents, Isaac often grapples with the struggles immigration, as well as changes to our society if we step in and take action against climate change. This piece, titled "Amongst the Fruits of Our Labor," pictures Isaacs hometown of Brooklyn, New York covered in lush greenery. Isaac has many other paintings just like this one, depicting the city of Brooklyn a lush paradise, and the joy on the faces of those living in it. Creating beautiful gardens across our cityscapes could prove significant in our fight against global warming, giving back to our planet the nature it needs, and providing ourselves with our most vital resource: clean air. In many of her pieces, Isaac plays with the idea of leaning into centuries-old practices and help our environment. This is an incredibly inspiring piece, and I believe that in years to come this piece will make its mark in history and inspire others to take steps against climate change.

Lola Edwards P.1 ; Conditional Love by SaRX 404

lola2102460 — 2024-04-11 14:13:02 UTC

The image shown is Graffiti Work done by the artist SaRX 404. It is a great depiction of making sustainable choices, the image showing an older woman giving a destroyed earth to a little boy, a representation of our possible future with increased climate change.

Danya Serpas, P1:|| E.A.R.T.H. (#1) by BK

danya_376821 — 2024-04-11 22:10:20 UTC

This piece is part of his E.A.R.T.H. Series. This artwork is created by BK also known as Brian Kirhagis. This art work reminds me of mother nature or even a goddess emerging form the grounds of the earth. This piece makes me feel enchanted by it.

Fun fact that this is not the only painting like this in his E.A.R.T.H. Series their are many paintings of earth like plants that construct a women's figure.

'The Deluge' by Bill Russell | Sophia Gabriel | P1

sophia353672 — 2024-04-12 00:32:30 UTC

In his painting 'The Deluge,' Bill Russell depicts the daunting future of Earth as a consequence of climate change. This art depicts our world drowning and drifting away due to the extreme sea level rise. The artwork puts a weight on me as the people and buildings drift off into the unknown.

Sapphire Brisco-Woods The Meaning of Nature

2024-04-12 14:23:18 UTC

This art makes me feel like we should think more about nature and the more knowledge we know about the earth the more beautiful the Earth can become. This artwork makes me feel like getting more knowledge about climate change so that my mind can be like this beautiful tree that's growing inside of this person's mind. I wish that everyone could have this mindset and then we all could come together and grow a much bigger tree that is our earth.

"Refugees of Climate Change" by Ruo Cheng Xiao

florenze318186 — 2024-04-12 15:13:46 UTC

Upon reading the artist's visionary explanation, looking at this artwork elicits an odd sense of hope for me. This artwork depicts several animals that are mercilessly swept away by waves, consequential to the glaciers that have melted and contributed to the sea level rise. These animals- the polar bear, sea turtles, and seals- help each other to find another home as they fight against the waves, as explained by the artist. Despite their differences and the fact that they come from different places, they unite to find safety. I think this is representative of the artist's hope for the future that all countries band together to advance toward a lifestyle that minimizes the output of carbon dioxide.

However, when you think about it realistically, some of these animals are predators and prey in their original homelands, and they'd most likely resort to attacking each other in real life. It was most likely intentional that the artist paired animals that are stronger than one another. This realization can serve as a rude awakening that you can connect to humans in place of these animals.

Artwork : The Earthrise

Artist(s) : Astronauts of Apollo 8

- William Anders, James Lovell, Frank Borman

The Earthrise was taken during Apollo 8 mission in 1968. This art makes me feel me feel curious about the Earth and think about how we should be protecting our planet.

Out of Time; Jennifer Liu (Leilani D. P01)

2024-04-19 13:09:20 UTC

“Out of Time,” an artwork created by Jennifer Liu, located in Newton MA. In fact, this masterpiece depicts a young woman who represents mother nature, yet is drowned from the constant battles Earth has to endure. Her resemblance is to portray a message that the damage towards our Earth is unchangeable. Furthermore, the woman’s meaning creates awareness and brings out the consideration for our Earth. Not only that, the artist herself states that the drawing on the right represents potential solutions to help rising global temperatures due to heat increase from the CO2 released in the air. This masterpiece illustrates a beautiful message that can motivate those to further help with the damages others have caused.

Eurhi Jones - Earth Day Mural (Charles Drew)

2024-04-22 14:36:23 UTC

This art is created by Ehuri Jones and is an Earth Day graffiti mural. It is located in Philadelphia at the Overbrook Environmental Education Center. This art work looks good to me because of the amount of detail and different parts of nature and Earth it includes. Ehuri did this mural for National Geographic. These murals are important because they help make sure that we're inspiring people to care about the wildlife, animals, nature and oceans around them.

"Tree of Extinction" By Alexis Rockman[]Ryan Joyce P1

2024-04-22 15:18:40 UTC

The "Tree of Extinction" drawing made by Alexis Rockman in 2018 depicts various extinct or extremely endangered animals on a burning leaf-less tree. This drawing gives me feelings of loss and helplessness, because of the fire and the knowledge that most of these animals are extinct. With an underlying tone of beauty and appreciation, the way this art is drawn out is outstanding, and appreciating the animals for what they were and the lifespan they held on this earth. The animals/plants shown in this picture are Dimetrodon, extinct 245 million years ago, Elkhorn coral (critically endangered) the Dodo bird, extinct 1681, Tasmania Tiger, extinct 1936, and Bornean Orangutan, which is critically endangered.

kiara809018 — 2024-04-24 14:33:42 UTC

The name of this artwork is EARTH (#30). This art piece, is a creation by B.K. It is just one of his beautiful pieces of art. This art piece makes me feel happy inside, because of the way he created this art piece. Every art piece in his EARTH series is the shape of a womans figure but made with different pieces of the earth. For example, branches, plants, leaves, and flowers.

Cartoon Earth Idea stock illustration
Artist is unknown
This art makes me feel gravely devastated as it perfectly depicts the world's struggles and battle in climate change. The Earth being represented as being in distress is symbolism of the Earth being 'in trouble' as us humans are furthering climate change through human activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, agriculture, etc. that increases greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

global warming climate change abstract art by Benjavisa Ruangvaree (Valentin Perez P1)

2024-04-30 20:48:19 UTC

This Magnificent art work was created by Benjavisa Ruangvaree. The name of this piece is global warming climate change abstract art. This artwork shows two sides of the Earth essentially or its past and its present day state. Before humans and the industrial Revolution there was not much global warming because there wasn't much CO2 in the air. But since The industrial revolution and human activities Carbon levels have skyrocketed. This piece of artworks makes think of what Earth maybe could have been if not for all the CO2 being released into the air by humans.

Nature As Art - Alan Sonfist (Chasyn Betiong P1)

chasynj369169 — 2024-04-30 21:50:50 UTC

This is an art work titled " Nature as Art" by Alan Sonfist. This work may look like chicken scratch, but it is actually a remap of the Earth's natural markings. I connected with this piece because it shows how beautiful nature can be. We tend to dismiss the beauty that nature shows us, and how even something like this can have such a meaning behind it.

Carter Aldridge "Wanderer Above The Sea Fog" by Caspar David Friedrich (P1)

2024-05-01 14:12:33 UTC

This artwork was made all the way back in 1818 by Caspar Friedrich. Caspar was a romanticist artist, who always wanted to bring a deeper, more intense meaning behind his canvas's. This specific painting was exemplifying humans relationship with nature. It is a complete embodiment of life, death, and change. The fog gives a mysterious vibe to the painting, as if the man has no idea what will come next. Through this, it shows the spirit of man, who is able to take on the unknown with perseverance. The mountains also symbolize the arduous journey that is set forth for the man. This painting gives power to many people, and personally makes me feel as if I can accomplish anything. The artist does a good job to inspire people in a mysterious way.

Iruka Akpamgbo P1 (Dust: Bernarda Bryson)

2024-05-01 14:13:15 UTC

This piece is named Dust
The artist is Bernarda Bryson
This piece is meant to illustrate the dust bowl, a period of severe droughts and dust storms that plagued the great plains in the 1930's. This painting makes me sad as it documents all of the poverty, unemployment, and harm to farmers this period caused. Many lost their jobs and homes due to no longer being to afford it.

Gloriously Wild | (P1; Angela Cruz)

angela2691229 — 2024-05-01 16:05:26 UTC

This beautiful oil-painting was created by Angela Gage, this landscape portrait is part of a collection of other works; the Ohio Plein Air Society. This collection is made up of 45 artworks based on various rural areas in the state of Ohio, each painting focuses on the various simplicity of nature. This painting shows us a sunflower field, maybe it's a sunny afternoon, or a cloudy morning; either one, we know this sunflower field is tranquil. You can just see the sunflowers gently dancing in the breeze, nothing but the tall blades of the plains, and the chimes from the house afar can fill your mind.

Personally, I'm from Ohio, and this piece reminds me of just how beautiful the state is. I remember driving through the Southern farmlands on road trips, gazing at the vast fields; catching a glimpse of a horse or cow enjoying the outdoors. This painting reminds me of home, and if the effects of climate change worsen, I could lose that. Not just me, but Earth herself will lose so much of what she's worked so hard to build up over the centuries.

Facing the Edge of the Forest: Susan Cohen Thompson (Lucas Elrod P1)

2024-05-03 14:45:47 UTC

I chose this art piece by Susan Cohen Thompson, as there was something so captivating about the faces of humans being in nature. The trees and distant horizons of water, plants, grass, all come together to create a sense of belonging and familiarity by depicting three human faces. I believe this art piece represents humans' connection to nature and how the state of our planet represents the state of our species and well-being. Thompson does an excellent job at emphasizing this concept, as she has many other similar works.

The Plastic Ocean by Tan Zi Xi (Jezzebel Quidlat)

jezzebel357314 — 2024-05-03 15:29:41 UTC

This art was created by Tan Zi Xi to recreate life under the Pacific Garbage Patch. She used about 20,000 pieces of trash, which she picked off of beaches and clean-ups to create the art. While looking at this art, it makes me realize the amount of influence and destruction humans have/do to the earth. Looking at it from the top or from pictures, we can see that it is bad, but it doesn't impact us too much because it doesn't affect us. However, this art gives us the point of view of the sea animals that have to constantly live under it and see it. We get to see how our carelessness with the planet affects not only us, but also other living things around us that don't get a choice with how their homes look.

[Anne Aragon P1] Northern White Rhino: Violet Astor

anneriv374249 — 2024-05-06 06:14:54 UTC

Through my research, I stumbled upon this particular piece from the RISE art gallery. In celebration of Earth Day, a group of artists chose to devote their time to creating works of art that highlight the love of our planet just as much as our love for art. This one by Violet Astor is titled, "Northern White Rhino". Violet decided to create this piece upon learning that there were only three Northern White Rhinos left in the world. Discovering and understanding the complex emotions Violet must have felt upon learning that fact struck a chord within me. The simple fact lead me to realize just how severe the impact we have on our planet is. It made me want to step up and change my personal habits/ things that are in my control to help us walk towards a greener future.

Eye of Nature: Anton Dymtchenko (Leila Pasay)

2024-05-08 19:49:21 UTC

This artwork was created by Anton Dymtchenko. To me, it feels like nature is watching everything I do. The birds, trees, bugs all feel my presence when I step out of my house and they observe me. Nature is always watching the things I do, just as I watch and admire it. This makes me want to be cautious about the things I do in this world because it affects the nature around me.

The Garden of Earthly Delights (Hieronymus Bosch) -Nolan Rotello

2024-05-09 03:29:06 UTC

How the Art Makes Me Feel: Hieronymus Bosch’s “The Garden of Earthly Delights” is a captivating and enigmatic triptych that explores the relationship between humanity and the natural world. The central panel, depicting a fantastical, dreamlike landscape populated by strange, hybrid creatures, evokes a sense of wonder and unease. The artwork invites the viewer to ponder the delicate balance between the beauty and the chaos of the natural world, and our own place within it. The intricate details and surreal imagery create a sense of both fascination and discomfort, challenging the viewer to confront the complexities and contradictions inherent in the human experience of the natural realm.

Untitled - Richard Misrach

sophie_2183956 — 2024-05-10 16:19:59 UTC

History - Richard Misrach had traveled to the New Orleans and the Gulf Coast shortly after hurricane Katrina. He took thousands of photos (including the one shown above) that show the way the town was ravaged by this storm, and to show the voices of the town (hence the frustration of "what now?")

This picture makes me feel almost angry and hopeless. To see the "What now?" spray painted on the home that has been taken by this terrible hurricane, makes me angry for the citizens that had lived through it.
