Art piece: Me and my teammate are envisioning of recreating the art piece ‘ The Great Wave of Kanagawa’. Since once of the requirements is that we can’t do any type of traditional style of art such as drawing or painting, my teammate and I have decided to recreate the painting using plastic wrappers. The timeline of creating the piece shouldn’t take long, I just need to get a poster board, I could easily find one at school, and outline the waves. What we mainly have to do is-as weird as this sounds- is the process of collecting as many white,and dark and light blue wrappers. What We Hope the Audience Will Take Away : Plastic is a really big cause of pollution- plastic breaks down in the ocean and is ingested by seabirds, and humans will as well be affected by the toxins- and since plastic can be so difficult to recycle (although possible always check if it is ) this would be a great way to reuse it. To recreate the waves, instead of using paints or pencils we will use the wrappers and glue them down into the outline drawn on the poster board. I also want to keep some type of chart, diagram, chart, whichever, to show how little (hopefully ) it took for us to collect that much plastic to show our everyday consumption of it, and I really do hope people will take this into account, and limit their reduce their use of plastic, since not only is it a place that humans and creatures depend on, but the ocean is a place I also love. This is still being decided, it depends on our time, but we have thought of also collecting some type ofblack wrappers or plastic to represent an oil spill, another huge cause of pollution, in our art-piece. We will present this during our project presentation explain our thought process behind it , in hope to really push peoples thinking on pollution.
