The art piece that I created is based on the work of Robert Rauschenberg, a famous pop artist. He was known for making art out of materials he would find. This style is called a combine. A combine is partially like a collage. However, combines used two different types of printmaking and mixed media. Although people were choosing environmental issues, I chose my dream for the environment. Also, my dream in general. I am trying to show that I want to be in a field of grass and feel at peace when I am there. My message is that we are at war with the environment. In my art, I show that there is a chance for peace.

I used the element of grass to show nature. I used the principle of contrast to show my blades of grass in the center.

I live with my mom, dad, and two brothers. We have dogs, cats, rabbits, and a fish. I enjoy music, science, and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. I don’t like rap music or math. I want to be an actor and activist.
