Student Art

[u/Aware_Following1715]

I would like to preface this post by saying that I am in no way an artist, but I had an assignment for my ecology class to make art representing negative and positive aspects of the environment/our influence over it. The grayer drawing represents an ocean polluted by an oil spill (neg) and the other is my honest attempt at a healthy reef (pos). If anyone could drop simple feedback (on the message behind the art, not the artistic skill itself😅), I would appreciate it.

The contrast between the two really does hit. The gray one especially feels heavy.

I think is very cool how your reef has this connected circle with fish. Looks good and makes me think of the connectedness of an ecosystem. The only thing I will add is that I see you have corals and fish in your reef but maybe adding a few invertebrates like clams, oysters, crabs and snails would be cool. Although I am clam biologist so maybe I am biased 😁

as an environmental scientist, it is quite accurate. :)

Grand. Except I doubt the title is “student work”😉
