Artist Statement
For the past couple of years, I have been studying IB Geography and IB Environmental. These classes taught me a ton about the environment and how important it is to take care of it. That’s what inspired my art show pieces - I wanted to make people aware of how valuable our planet is. So, I made a bunch of thrown and handbuilt pieces that are all different shades of blue, green, and some browns to represent nature. I hope my art gets people thinking about how important the environment is and to make them want to protect it. However, I have only taken art for 2 semesters, and one of them being over covid. So, this semester it took a long time to take the rust off of my skills, and I tried to make the best work out of my little artistic ability. The beauty that I may see in my own artwork might not be the same one you see, but I hope it somehow is. My favorite piece was the leaves because they are simple but also truly unique. I hope you enjoy my art, and if you are feeling generous maybe give me a ribbon!
