Anna Atkins:
I thought that it was quite interesting to see her fascination with nature and Marine biology. Her being a woman at the time, it was considered taboo for her to even be involved with science, or art. It shows the steps taken to break the stigma and promote equality.
I learned:
-New ways to get inspired; biology becoming accents to remarkable pieces
– Her interesting techniques; Printmaking/ink/paint with her graceful hand
-The degree of time and work that she took while studying and discovering ways of making scientific references as masterpieces.
Cradle to Cradle:
I learned:
-About how the cradle to cradle concept works within nature; The biodegradable waste that we produce, gives resources to other organisms in need of those wastes
– How agriculture and the wealthy play a role in the destruction of our eco-system.
-The notion that all product waste being bio friendly is very possible and could save our planet.
