2020 – Our Environment, My Culture
ArtLink 2019-20 Theme Assignment: Nature and culture are interrelated. Our environment influences our daily lives. We asked ArtLink students around the world to explore just how important your natural surroundings are to your culture and the activities you enjoy.
Students depicted outdoor activities that take place with family or one’s carried out in the larger community or even country-wide. They could have taken place at home, at school, at places of worship, on sports fields, in town centers, or in nature.
The pieces might also focus on concerns about the quality of the environment now or in the future, and how that quality might affect your community, country, and/or the world.
