What is your artwork about?
I chose to make a landscape for this project because I wanted people to see the beauty of the world which they do not see behind their computer screens. Technology is steadily advancing and it is starting to take over. This advancement is replacing every aspect of the world and people are losing our forests and natural resources. I want people to preserve the beauty of the Earth that we still have.

Beforehand, all submissions are being displayed in venues such as libraries, schools and museums. A show is planned at the Wamego Public Library in April.

Dream Theme: Conservation
Materials & Techniques Used: Foam, glue, pom poms, pipe cleaners, googlie eyes, ribbon, fabric, leaves, flowers, frop paint. 
What is your group’s artwork about?
When we asked the girls which area they wanted to focus on, and what part of the girl scout law our selection represented, several asked why animals weren't one of the choices... .so we incorporated conservation with their love of animals. They chose, "use resources wisely and make the world a better place as portions of the girl scout law that they were addressing, "The world just wouldn't be a good place without animals, Ms. Shannon".. .and I had to agree. We talked about conserving our resources, our land, the animal's habitats and the animals themselves. The girls then decided to design their portion of the project as their own individual favorite animal that they would like to be sure is here for many, many generations to come. When we were discussing the endangered species list and the animals that were already extinct, they were very concerned that there were animals that they would never have the chance to see and wanted to make something that helped the awareness that if we don't change our ways there will be so many more that in 20, 10 even 5 years, there will be a whole new group of children who may never know what a Panda is, and how very irresponsible and terribly sad that would be.
