Last week at the Cranford Recreation Art Club, participants explored the theme of the Human/Nature relationship in art. The discussion focused on two perspectives: viewing nature as an observer and being a participant or part of nature.

Examples were drawn from the Human/Nature exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, highlighting studies of plants and artwork depicting natural events such as floods and storms. In the plant studies, nature served as the object, while in the event paintings, nature was the subject.

Children engaged in a creative activity where they examined printed photographs of flowers to inspire their own compositions based on plant studies.
