The theme of
my project is ‘animals and the environment’. For this project I want to bring
awareness to various different dangers that effect animals, for example, global
warming is melting the ice where Polar bears live, deforestation destroying habitats
where wild animals live. I am looking at working with conservation and looking at animals around today I am not looking at mythical creatures.
Also how lots of animals are become extinct. I will
also be looking at animals in art and how they are represented.
This relates
to my previous project called ‘museum of me’. These two projects relate
because, I used animals in the previous project and I am planning on using them
again in my new one. Because I have worked with animals before, I can use the
work produce already to help me get ideas and I also gives me the chance to
develop my previous pieces.
For my essay I'm going to be comparing two inspiring artists. These artists are; Durer and David Shepherd. I decied to compare these two artist for my essy because, they both have a very different way of working.
One of my
influences will be ZLS Whipsanade Zoo. Here I will be able to gather
information about different types of animals myself. The groups ‘World Animal
Protection’ and ‘National Wildlife Federation’. Both of these groups are
working on ways to help and protect animals from extinction and offer problems.
All of these
will help me gather information about individual animals and also which animals
are in danger of extinction. I would also like to have a look at country sides
and places with a lot of nature to do observation drawings.
