The Arts as a Social Consciousness Tool

Fri Nov 13, 2009, 1:03 PM
The Arts as a raising Social Consciousness tool.

Awhile back, concerning Global Warming issues & my atmospheric/landscape/waterscape series on that subject, I wasn't too surprised to hear comments indicating some folks don't believe in the events documented in Al Gore's " An Undisputed Truth."
One of the funniest, IMHO, was the "I'd like to slap Al Gore up alongside his head; knocking some sense of smell into him because I doubt he can smell what he's shoveling" comment.

Big LOL on my part when I first got that email from a very dear friend who lives in Down Under...Having said that: Last year at this time, we already had snow here.
Yesterday, it was gorgeous, bright, sunny, with no wind; so it felt warmer than the 56F reading on my outdoor...Today, it's darkly overcast, 55F, coldly windy & damp, which greatly influenced which upload I chose...as well as my comment & conceptual question for my fellow artist friends here...
To clarify: Reading between the following lines; have you ever conceptually wondered: With all the chatter about Polar Ice Melt, problematics aside; “Okay, so what is the Antarctica continent going to look like – after being buried under ice all these zazillion years?” has my curiosity level sky high, so to speak.

Incidentally, I'm asking viewers to rate this, "Issues - Antartica Meltdown" image; as a "survey" of the Issue the design addresses; NOT as a rating of my modeling work; which I'm very proud of with this design :D
IF a viewer reading this has "Artistic Jealousy Issues," please, try to rise above that - because Spaceship Earth is the only home Humanity has, if she crashes, we ALL perish!

WE ALL as Nations, really need to put Cultural, Ethnic, Political & Religious differences aside...Focus on the Global Environment; hopefully, there's still time to turn things around.
