WORLD ART DAY APRIL 15, 2020
There are amazing ways to create art. Songs and music may commemorate nature. Poetry may ring out the praises of the environment. Photography, scientific illustrations and drawings may also be artistic. Henry David Thoreau, and Richard St. Barbe Baker among many others wrote about nature, and trees. There are many ways of communicating adaptation to climate change: the art and science of public engagement when climate change comes home. Which way is the most appealing? Why? Which makes the most impact? Climate Change Art Helps People Connect With A Challenging Topic. The enormity of climate change, and how it affects the earth can be overwhelming, and stressful. Art is one personal method of taking action, of making a difference.
“I hope my paintings will always inspire people to become a part of nature rather than a force that manipulates and destroys it. I hope my work will be seen as an important voice in the environmental awakening of the last 50 years that is aiming to conserve and sustain our planet.”~Clyde Aspevig
Today is Wednesday April 15, and it is time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day on April 22, and to bring awareness to Earth Month- the month of April. This year’s Earth Day 2020 theme is Climate Action.

“The environment becomes inspiration. My response to it becomes idea. And idea becomes purpose and action through interpretation and painting. “~Gerald Brommer
“It is futile for an artist to try to create an environment because you have an environment around you all the time. Any living organism has an environment. “~Carl Andre
