This artwork links to the theme “This Is Nature!” because it shows that nature is more than just plants and animals. In the middle of my artwork there is a pencil drawing of a girl’s face. She looks thoughtful, like she’s thinking about something important. This shows that humans are part of nature too, not separate from it. Around her face there are flowers, a butterfly, and a bird. These are all parts of nature and they help show different meanings. The butterfly can represent change and growing, which is something everyone goes through. The bird could show freedom or thoughts, like ideas flying around in your head. The flowers make the artwork feel soft and calm, and they also show how nature can be beautiful. The purple background makes the artwork feel gentle and emotional. It makes the girl stand out and helps show her feelings. The way the natural objects are around her makes it seem like nature is connected to her mind and emotions, almost like nature is showing how she feels. Overall, this artwork shows that nature isn’t just outside it’s also inside us. Our thoughts, feelings, and changes are all part of nature.
