Abstract
The study focuses on the power of art in the development of human space. There is a great emphasis on the various approaches that are adopted in the visual art to create from nature. These different approaches are used to advance concrete arguments on how arts have been used for sustainable growth of mankind. Part of the key words in the text: Living Space is positioned as the overall axis where human existence begins and ends. More importantly, there is a focus on the relationship that exists between the living space, art, science and technology. The artistic method that can be used to solve the environmental degradation in the south-south region of Nigeria is also mentioned. The varied points raised in the article are reinforced with a simple five-blank verse poem. The symbolic implication of the recurring five in the poem is that the brain and the mind can project and conceive good and bad ideas, but without the imput of the five fingers in both the left and right hands, nothing tangible can come out of the human thought.
