Essay Proposal

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.
