Art - Environmental Issues (sorry for the delay :P)

So I have done some research about environmental issues, our home work was to find 10 and circle the 3 most important. In my opinion the top three most concerning environmental issues are:

1. Air pollution - because we need air to live and a lot of factories are poluting the air with different gases.
2. Water pollution - again this is one of the essential thing for living and  water is a finite resource, that means that we can't produce it.
3. Extinct and endangered animals - I am not sure if this is an environmental issue but its still very important because we are also animals and we cannot let animals be extinct we need them for food, clothes and many other things.

We also had to write some benefits and in our opinion on why we think two or more things from nature are the most important. We had to link that to one of Andy Goldsworthy arts.
Here is my work

Then in last week's lesson we took a look around school to find materials that we could use to make our own Andy Goldsworthy piece of art, we can only use natural materials not man made.

After going around school we came back and I made a brain storm about the sculpture I could make with these materials. So I decided to make a sea (beach) water movement, using; sand, leaves (the ones that are on the floor, and white rocks. My idea is that the sand will be the background, the leaves will be the waves doing a kind of arch, and the white rocks will be the crush in the end of the wave.
Here is the sketch

The title is IDEAS but the colour inside the lettersdont appear because the colour (florescent yellow) was too bright.

That's it for this week!
