Think About Nature like an Artist

The Harrisons were an artist duo who made sculptures out of living things. In Survival Piece #5: Portable Orchard, they made a work of art by putting citrus trees in the artificial environment of an art gallery. They wanted us to think about nature, and what we need to do to live with it in harmony. 

Today, consider this question: what happens when we look at nature as a work of art? Then we’ll do some close looking and sketching.
