The influence of arts education on love of the natural environment

Abstract

Art is capable of uniting people to preserve and protect the environment. Fine art can serve as an effective tool that allows you to convey to a person the vulnerability and beauty of wildlife, and the need to fight for its preservation for future generations. Fine arts and art education promotes the development of students’ love and respect for nature, as well as motivating actions to activate its protection and conservation. Drawing can be considered not only in the context of creative activity, but also as a very effective and significant tool that contributes to the knowledge of the natural environment. Art education allows you to make a significant contribution to environmental education by visualizing nature through art. The drawing contributes to the transformation of the theoretical understanding of environmental problems into visual and accessible images to a wide audience. The study of nature through environmental education creates prerequisites for the development of students' deep understanding of the natural environment and the problems associated with its preservation. Fine arts contribute to raising public awareness of environmental issues, which in turn can stimulate active participation in public activities for environmental awareness. Drawing can be considered as a possible, highly effective means of teaching an understanding of natural beauty. It stimulates the processes of self-knowledge of the surrounding world and contributes to a beneficial effect on the emotional and physical condition of people.
