Ecology Wall Mural brings Nature to our Home and Community


Ecology painting brings nature into our homes and communities to the delight of our children and folks, converts old and dirty walls into fresh landscapes with the ambiance of a park, if not the natural world.

Ecology painting records the conditions of the natural world, a good material for learning about the environment, its interrelationship with geography, natural resources and climate and their effects to daily life.

Ecology painting introduces us to Vuillard's painting of a park as a backdrop where students explore the social concepts of parks, embodying a character or characters in the painting from their own perspective.

Ecology painting brings us to the world of Winslow Homer, famous for his Breezing Up (old man sailing with kids) and A House in the Bahamas, where he painted and wrote on the simple and beautiful life on this island nation. 

Ecology painting teaches us drawing and painting from memory after close observation without taking photographs, notes or preparatory sketches, as in the case of The Quarry of Monsieur Pascal near Nantere by Jean-Charles Cazin. 

Ecology painting like On the Farm by Joan Miro'  teaches students of simple technology on how to collect rain ater in an arid landscape, an on-site and hand-on approach in learning art and its application to life and the environment.

Ecology painting leads us to experience the impact of technology on the countryside as depicted in the painting by George Inness of the railroad to the countryside in mid-nineteenth century America that envisions the impact of development in the past and in the future.

Ecology painting leads us to Jean-Jacques  Rousseau in the Jungle, not in actual setting, but imagined sceneries such as the Tropical Forest with Monkeys, a visit in nature's show windows from botanical gardens and zoos, to illustrations in books. 

Ecology painting re-creates the setting of the novels Swiss Family Robinson by Johann David Wyss and Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, and lately, the multi-awarded movie Cast Away. 

Ecology painting offers a balance to commercial art focusing on trade and commerce in the form of advertisements, billboards, and brings  to mind the importance of nature in a highly industrialized world.   

Ecology painting traces the early evolution of living things as depicted in fiction such as The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle, Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne, and Jurrasic Park, a movie directed by Steven Spielberg.  

Ecology painting "brings" nature into our homes and communities to the delight of our children and folks, converts old and dirty walls into fresh landscapes with the ambiance of a park if not the natural world.

Ecology painting invites our viewers to visit the old section of the EcoSanctuary of St Paul University QC: wall murals of a tropical rainforest, coral reefs, watershed, and mountain biome, painted by the author. ~
