I went to the Porterville Art Association which is a local non-profit organization in Porterville, CA that contains artwork from local artists whom most are high school students. There were several different art pieces that caught my attention; however, the one that stood out the most was “Grapes of Wrath,” by Lizbeth Andrade a high school student from Porterville. Lizbeth Andrade uses many different art techniques to give the meaning or message of her art work.

The leaves, flowers, and trees are an essential resource that benefit well human being. They provide oxygen, water, medicine, habitat for the wildlife and help our
