Adaptation Art
Sophy Tuttle was one of the gifted speakers who visited the interns. A skilled artist, you can find her working on huge murals depicting animals and symbolic climate change warnings. Some of these murals can even be found in Arlington, like the honey bee mural at Magnolia Field! Tuttle's enthusiasm for art spread to the interns when she gave a project to do at home. The assignment: create a new adaptation for endangered animals to survive the obstacles of climate change that threaten them. Below are some of our artworks. Enjoy!

![A pencil drawing of a black and blue salamander. The salamander is black with blue spots, and a ridged tail that is alternating black and blue. It has wings stretched out to the side– blue on its right, black on its left. One wing is about half the length of its body. From its head is a little heart popping out, as if love or a kiss. The background is white. At the top right, text reads in thin black pen, “Sally saved herself!” At the bottom left reads, “Problems Blue-Spotted Salamanders face: habitat loss. habitat degradation. road mortality. disease. Solution: New home [an arrow pointing right] [begin caps] wings! [end caps]. (Sally’s practically a dragon [smiling face])”](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/127a9a_1ad7b17604db453999850816fbd11d93~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_448,h_336,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/127a9a_1ad7b17604db453999850816fbd11d93~mv2.jpg)
