Art Speaks Out
HERE ARE THE HIGH SCHOOL ART WINNERS FOR 2016:
Art Description
A parasite is defined as an organism that dwells on another organism to get food and protection from it. However, over time the parasite will leech the life out of its host. The host's health will continue to deteriorate until it perishes. Just like any animal or plant, the Earth is no exception to this treatment. This world was once a planet flourishing with vitality. Lush green hills and sparkling oceans all encompassed in a suitable atmosphere. We humans have the privilege of living on such a planet with goldilocks conditions. We have benefited from the Earth but has the Earth benefited from us? We need to cherish these natural wonders.
