Winslow Homer’s, Shore and Surf (above), is an example of how artists take elements from the environment to a.
record an image for future generations.
b.
transform and represent their mood and messages.
c.
show the fierce power and energy of nature.
d.
represent current thoughts and philosophy

Either C or B in my opinion

Explanation:

Im saying these because I jusy googled the image/painting and examined it. It appears to be capturing strong, jagged waves coming to shore, showing how fierce nature is. However, then again based off its simple name this couldjust be an artist capturing a certain moment at a specific time. Take my answer with a grain of salt though, no promises on it being right.

the above mentioned statements talks about the creativity of an artist and to what extend they can utilize and experiment on the objects provided.   differing size and subjects are given so that an image of wisdom is created. displaying a transition from light to dark in something by darkening sections in order to create a shadow. and lastly, putting bits and pieces together to formulate a new image.
