Here is me and my teammates finale artwork for our Biology class! If you have read my previous posts about this particular project you will know that the main focus of the art-piece ( the wave being that that the man topic of the project is OCEANS ) is created from various pieces of trash mostly, plastic, me and my teammate have collected The back round, which is supposed to represent a cloudy grey sky, was made from newspaper we found in the trash. Me and my team mate have not yet decided what we will do with the artpiece, maybe one of us will take it home, but for right now it's still up in the air. Here is a quick diagram titled " 6 Degrees of Seperation" about only some of the harm plastic pollution can do, and one way it can be caused. Source:Trash Diagram One of the questions we were asked was, did your audience understand the intended content of your artwork?
But first let me give a brief overview of what our intended content was with this art-piece. One was to let our audience know how much plastic we use and recycle in a day, which according to many websites is 4.5 pounds a day which adds up to 223 million tons a YEAR. And as you see above in the diagram it harms the ocean in many ways not just marine animals mistaking them for food. We would point this out along with mentioning it really only took a day to find all the trash we needed to do our artwork. We also hope to maybe inspire people, not only to cut down on plastic, but to reuse like we did instead of just chucking it into the trash, since we know plastic is very hard to recycle. Audience means different things for different people in this case since we have yet to have our Oceanography presentations, so I will be counting my classmates and my Weebly as an "audience." Although I can't be sure with Weebly since I know many people don't visit mine, I have explained clearly in my blog posts -and shown picture of my art-piece - of what both I and my teammate want the audience to take away. With my classmates I have gotten positive feedback, and with a little explaining of the art piece the seem to put the pieces together on what we are trying to convey, and even offer helpful feedback. Goodbye and thank you for reading my final benchmark for my Oceanography project!
