Abstract

This paper investigates how creative arts could influence environmentally conscious material selection choices in design processes using sustainability as a key mediating component. More especially, the study emphasises on how the creative arts could inspire these decisions. The global spread of environmental problems has coupled with the importance of incorporating sustainable ideas into creative and design procedures. Creative arts provide fresh perspectives on environmental challenges as well as help to build cultural values by means of visual storytelling, experimentation, and audience participation. By using eco-friendly techniques in their job, creative experts have chances to help to lessen their impact on the surroundings. This will enable them to use goods that have less of an impact on the environment, including those that are recyclable, biodegradable, or obtained from a real source. This research aims to look at how the arts may raise awareness, encourage analysis, and show how ecologically conscious choices might be carried out. The main goal of this study is to change people's conduct around the consumption of tangible items. Simultaneously with sustainability serves as a link between innovative ideas and responsible outputs, it also guarantees that beauty does not come at the price of the planet. The research shows that the arts have great power to inspire environmentally conscious behaviour by assessing case studies of sustainable design, artistic projects, and instructional programs. These results lead one to appreciate the premise that more deliberate material choice and environmental stewardship are results of creative expression impacted by sustainable concepts more highly. This abstract aims to propose that, when the creative arts are deliberately in line with sustainability, environmental responsibility in the choices of materials and design may be promoted via those arts. Activists may find a venue for expression in the arts.
