 * Remember**, these are only very small snap shots of each artist. Research to find out HOW each artist uses nature in their artmaking or artworks.


 * Consider** the following for each artist:

Is nature a theme? Is nature a medium (used as an object in the artwork)? Is nature used as a tool to make the art? Is nature a setting for the artwork?


 * Which** **artists** use man made objects in their artworks? Write two sentences explaining your thoughts about using man made objects in artworks about nature (think about whether the man made objects compliment or ruin the feelings about nature in the artworks). Clearly identify and use one example to support your ideas.


 * Which materials** do you think bring about ideas of the **//beauty of nature//**? Give an example and in one paragraph explain TWO **specific** **reasons** for these thoughts.
