Week 15: Post- Post

I got a lot out of this class, but I think the most important thing focused on the art side of things. The day we spent in class painting was the best part of the course. I went home and started painting and sketching. I have started doing this almost every other day in the past few weeks. Mostly trees. lol. When I was a senior in high school and taking 4 art classes every project I did had trees. There is something about them that I find fun and intriguing to portray. There are so many different kinds, ways to portray them, and emotions that can be communicated. The diversity of them is what keeps me on that subject and not moving to something else.

Practically speaking, I am much more aware of my role in conservation, and well for that matter pollution. They walk and in hand as far as my role I suppose. I was never really aware of the biblical side of ecology and conservation, that as a Christian, I am responsible for spiritually.

One of thing I really appreciated that I am not sure I would have otherwise ever been aware, is the locally specific details. The fact that Lake Washington is a super unique source of freshwater that supplies Brevard county water was very interesting. As well as finding out my location-specific details about where my power comes from, where my waste goes, etc.
