With technology being as big as it is these days, and will be in the future, artists have really stepped away from nature. Long ago nature had a much bigger role in artist’s work. Using much scenery and use of outdoor space, you can tell that nature was one of the biggest inspirations for artwork. Times have changed however, and with much more focus on computer graphics, design, and technology, nature has lost touch with much art. I believe that even with technology in the rise, nature should still have a bigger impact in our artwork and in our lives. Our land did not form to us, but we formed the land. We did not change to fit our surroundings, but we fit it to us. Our land is much more important to us than many stop to think about. It is the reason why we are alive and even able to create new technology. We cannot continue to ignore how we are treating our planet. If nature played the same role it did many years ago, today, then maybe people will realize what’s going on and make a difference.
