Hey people of the internet! My name is Victor Seco Roopnaraine, and I go to an International school in Lusaka, Zambia. My school’s multicultural culture has influenced the way I live, and my views on the world. I am working on a school project, for Individuals and Societies, and here, on my creative site, I will upload motivational poems, all in the subject of environmental change. Environmental change is the single biggest problem that humanity has ever faced – not just humanity, but all other species. Its a “global, multicultural” issue. We must protect the environment at all costs, and on this site, I will post poems that inspire you to do so.
Introduction
My creative pieces will all use art as the main medium. Art can represent so many different things, it’s an amazing thing that people don’t fully appreciate. The particular form of art that I will use is poetry. I will use poetry to convey my ideas on the environment, pollution, global warming, etc. Our planet is going to waste, and we need to do something to stop it. Whilst I fully understand that this one blog won’t make a massive difference, every thing counts. If everybody took initiative for their actions, and did a small part to help the environment, then the planet would be a much better place. Poetry inspires strong emotion, so that is how I will convey my messages. Please share this blog with friends and family, and I even encourage you to make one of your own!
What is Art?
Art is a human way of expression, art is a form of freedome. Just take a moment to imagine how boring and mundane the world would be without art. Art gives the world spice – it positively fills people’s figurative buckets, with strong, warm emotions. Art can come in many forms, be it spoken, written, performance, or visual. We could live without art, but our lives would be even more tedious than they already are. Movies are a form of art – imagine life without that. Literature is a form of art – what would the world be like without books? Art is a positive way of expression, however it can also be used to inspire fear, and be used in the forms of propaganda by governments. Art is just a form of expression – it can be used positively or negatively – to ones advantage, or for everyone. I love art. Art is incredible. Personally, my favorite type of art is visual, but, as I mentioned earlier, this project requires poetry. This, however, doesn’t change my perspective on art, as I still hold visual art as my favorite. There are many arts, ranging from written, performance, culinary, and visual. Art is something that you are passionate about. Anything that has been refined by a person – a skill – can be considered an art.
