My artwork is called The Secret Village of Nature. It shows a tiny village where nature and magic live together. I imagine little creatures living inside the tall houses and taking care of their beautiful home. This village is hidden, so only people who look carefully can find it. I made the houses using clay and shaped them tall like towers. I painted them in bright colors like purple and pink because I think nature is colorful and happy. I used crisp packaging to make the roofs because it is shiny and looks special, like magic roofs. I used buttons as windows and doors because they look funny and creative. They also show that we can reuse things instead of throwing them away. I added moss and dried grass to make the ground look like a real forest floor. I put small stones and little paths so it feels like a real place you could walk through. I used small glass bottles like tiny jars for potions or treasures that the village people might use. I added artificial flowers to make the village bright and full of life. They show that nature is always growing and beautiful. This artwork shows that nature is not only big forests and oceans. It can also be small, magical, and full of imagination. Nature can be made from many things, even from recycled materials and things we use every day. When you look at my artwork, I want you to feel curious and happy. I want you to imagine what kind of creatures live there and what adventures they have. I want you to feel like you found a secret place that only a few people know about. To me, “This is Nature!” means nature is creative, kind, and full of surprises. Nature is everywhere, even in the smallest villages and in our imagination.
