Art Appreciation: Nature's Worst - Collage Project Assignment

This assignment is a creative exploration of the theme 'Nature's Worst,' focusing on the impact of human actions on the environment. It involves creating a collage inspired by Matisse's cutouts, using newspaper clippings to depict the negative consequences of environmental degradation, such as drought and species extinction. The assignment highlights the role of human activities in causing climate shifts, desertification, and deforestation, which ultimately lead to the reduction in rainfall and the loss of biodiversity. The project emphasizes the importance of understanding these issues and their potential impact on the planet, offering a visual representation of the challenges facing the natural world due to human intervention. This assignment is designed to encourage critical thinking about environmental issues and the role of art in raising awareness.

Topic: Nature at its worst because of human
Here the chosen topic is “Nature at its worst because of human’. Here the collage is being
created based on the Matisse’s cut out. Here the given scenario was to depict the natural
environment. The colors and the shapes are being cut from the newspaper and its being collaged.
The time has come where out earth is nearing to extinction of the plants as well as the animals.
Here it’s said that in the early days nearly six species comes to extinction each of the year. But
based on the current trend 1000 times the species becomes to extinct each day. Few extinctions
occurs such as asteroid strikes, volcanic eruptions as well as the climatic shifts. The dry climate
brings the drought and it’s considered as the unusual thing which might not occur all the time.
The above picture depicts the lack of rainfall and its preservation. Due to the lack of rainfall, the
species gets extinct. The drought occurs on both the wet and dry periods. The picture depicts the
reduction in the level of the underground water. The shortage of the rainfall is due to the major
factors such as the absence of the moisture in the atmosphere and non arrival of the rain bearing

systems. Since there are changes in the various factors of the nature, it might also affect the
weather systems and it might also change from local to the regional as well as global. The
problem majorly arises due to the human involving in the nature. They change the human
induction in the long term and perform the fluctuations. It is also said that the reason might also
include, the environmental degradation, desertification as well as the deforestation which brings
the drought.
