To provide contexts for observing and discussing ideas about the natural environment, human-made environment, and ecological issues in art. Start with big environments and work to smaller ones. You are part of the universe, Milky Way, solar system, Earth, continent, country, state, county, town, community, neighborhood, house, room, and finally, yourself. Notice how your environments start out with natural elements, evolve to human-made, and return to natural. Environments can be created by natural climatic conditions or be human-made.
Environments can have both positive and negative influences on people.
