Grass Portraits
You may have seen any number of pieces of art carved from wood.
How about portraits made from grass?
These artists were, at least in part, inspired by the changes in the climate around them, but they take that inspiration in a novel direction.
Sometimes learning seems to happen just one way, but what life and art teach us is that there are all sorts of lessons to learn from what we experience.
Can you think of something that you experienced that was mostly negative, but turned out to inspire some small positive over time?
What’s something you are worried about now? Can you imagine that in a few years, what you are experiencing might end up becoming something good for you and others? What would it take to make that happen?
