After engaging with all of the following:
– Agnes Denes’s _Wheatfield — A Confrontation_
– Maya Lin’s _What is Missing?_ project
– The documentary _Waste Land_ (dir. Lucy Walker)
Write a **two-part response (500–600 words total)**:
#### **Part 1: Comparative Analysis (350–400 words)**
Respond to the following questions using **all three works**:
– How does each artist confront ecological degradation or loss in their work?
– What creative strategies—materials, scale, symbolism, storytelling—do they use?
– How does each work connect **art to action**—in terms of policy, emotion, or awareness?
– Which work impacted you the most, and why?
Use **at least one direct reference or detail** from **each** of the three works to support your analysis.
#### **Part 2: Creative Proposal (150–200 words)**
Inspired by the works you've studied, imagine your own small-scale **eco-activist artwork or public intervention.** Your project may be real, speculative, or conceptual. Include:
– **Title of your project**
– **What it would look like or involve**
– **What environmental issue it engages**
– **What kind of response you hope to provoke**
Your intervention doesn’t have to offer a solution—it should provoke reflection or start a conversation.
### **Submission Guidelines:**
– Write in paragraph form. This is a journal, not a list.
– You may write in a personal or reflective tone, but support your insights with **specific examples** from the artworks and readings.
