Day 4

On the fourth day of the experiment, I drew what I observed in nature. The art work was of what still exists and of what no longer exists because of urban development and pollution. I drew the sunset, the dark sky, the mountains, and a dead tree. I appreciated that where I live gives me beautiful views of the mountains and clear views of the stars. There are plenty of areas that do not have natural environment to gaze out. In the case of the dead tree, it shows how we have destroyed nature or the natural process of life and death. Just sitting on my deck and looking at nature, I become calm even after a rough loss in soccer. It relieves my stress, which is one benefit of living in Lambertville, but my drawings did not do justice to the scenes. However, since I knew what I was going for, I could still feel that power of nature. Now, I look forward to the activity on the last day of the experiment, swimming at the gym. It is going to be fun.
