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.
