Effect of tree trunk

Thirty members of drawing house were invited for the thirty-second rural art programe. they chose the trees of jungle in order to do their work. As we know In these years we have witnessed the indiscriminate destruction of the environment .in this regard the members of drawing house try to do something." We are sure that this forest and the other forests will disappear one day. We, the members of drawing house, see the world through drawing point of view. So we want to deal with these disasters of our own point of view. We will wrap our drawing papers around the tree trunks and by rubbing our pencils on it we will have the tree tissue on our papers. So these tissues on the paper will be the only thing left from these trees.
