woodcut (for more information: https://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/highlights/highlight_objects/pd/a/albrecht_d%C3%BCrers_rhinoceros.aspx). Students identify different textures on the rhinoceros. Teacher has a student pass out the texture worksheet. Teacher gives a demonstration as to how to fill out worksheet. I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own.

With the destruction of rainforests comes the destruction of the orangutan's habitats. To make their situation even worse, they are at risk from illegal hunting, where the females are killed, so their babies can be sold illegally as pets. There is no denying that Warhol’s brand had something to do with the success of the series, which stoke public interest. Also, the familiarity between the paintings in the series and his previous works made it easy for the public to be sold. It was a perfect combination of animals, even though the list wasn’t pre-planned. ConclusionAs things got out of hand, Warhol responded the way he knew best; by using art. The effects of Endangered Species cannot be underestimated even today when discussing environmental preservation issues. Since the series was created, there has been a significant increase in the popularity of environmental art. Artists such as Ai Weiwei 3 has been using art to advocate for animals rights. At the same time, Ansel Adams was pivotal in raising awareness for the conservation and preservation of wilderness. How about the status of the animals in 2019? Making posters for endangered species is a great way to learn about the animals and help kids connect with them. The more attached we are to nature and animals, the more likely we are to protect it. It’s up to us to make changes needed to keep these animals and their habitats around.

The artist also owned a piece of land near Carbondale, Colorado, but he never put it to use, saying 4: Avoid using toxic herbicides or pesticides in your garden. There are often alternatives for a fabulous lawn.

For a long time, between the 17th and 20th centuries, whales were hunted heavily for oil. This hunting, which is known as whaling, almost made the blue whale completely extinct. Before this era of whaling, there were around 200,000 – 300,000 whales but after, there were just 5,000 – 12,000. The Sea Turtle was not part of the Endangered Species series and created two years later in 1985. However, sea turtles are another endangered species. Warhol created this screenprint as a way to connect with the 1985 adaptation of the Russell Hoban Novel. Turtle 360A is the name of this blue and purple print and was published for the Turtle Diary film in 1985. This film follows a couple from the UK that met each other for the first time at a Sea Turtle exhibit in the London zoo. Both of them think that it’s important to help turtles by releasing them into the sea. Andy Warhol – Turtle, 1985, 77,5 x 100 cm (31½ x 39 3/8 in.), photo: Christie’s Encourage your children to think about an endangered animal that interests them and research what’s threatening the species' survival. Task them with including some of their research in an interesting and thought-provoking way. Hunting, habitat destruction, introduction of invasive foreign species, and the over-exploitation of wildlife mean that many different types of plants and animals are being pushed to the edge of extinction. All this can be attributed to Warhol’s Endangered Species series. The artist propelled the efforts of conservation forward. The images in the series have a double-sword effect as they created awareness that the endangered animals need protection and increased the donations towards this course. Vanishing Animals

LISTED species living or migrating within the United States and U.S. territories, or within the territorial waters of the U.S.: He provided 15 illustrations of species that were in danger of extinction, including Puerto Rican Parrot, Galapagos Tortoise, Mouse Armadillo, California Condor, Whooping Crane, Komodo Monitor, Sumatran Rhinoceros, La Plata River Dolphin, Paraguayan Peccary, Okapi, and Soemmerring Gazelle. Andy Warhol – Vanishing Animals In Don’t Let Them Disappear, we learn about 12 different endangered species – giraffes, gorillas, blue whales, rhinos, pandas, whale sharks, polar bears, lions, sea otters, orangutans, tigers, and elephants. The book tells us a little bit about each animal including some fun facts and why they are endangered. Although extinction is a natural phenomenon, with between one and five species becoming extinct each year, we are now losing dozens of species every day. It is estimated that one million species (including plants) will be lost by 2050. Learning facts about endangered animals is the first step to raising awareness about this issue. Currently, there are around 250 adult whooping cranes in the wild. However, this number could be much higher as there have been many recent breeding successes with the species. The majority of these whooping cranes spend their summers in Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada, moving on to Texas, USA for the winter.
