VISUAL ART & ENVIRONMENTSPhoto by: Ansel Adams

By studying environments, artists have the power to portray their environment from their own point of view.

The artist decides what information include and what to leave out.

Artists communicate more than what they see in their environment, they record what they hear, feel and smell.

The artist expresses how their environment makes them feel when they interact with it.
