Creating a Wave out of Plastic
Creating a Wave out of Plastic
Through my primary research I will be collecting all of the trash I make and a group of people in my community makes. I hope to make as little trash as possible and am encouraging this group to do so as well. I will create a life-size sculpture of a wave out of plastic. I will be able to displaying it in my school's lobby.
Whenever I visit art exhibits me and my dad will go around saying "oh I bet I could make that." We both love art and being creative but we always feel too busy to actually create anything amazing. Now I will be able to create something that can make a difference in the world by making people realize how much trash we create. I hope my sculpture emphasizes the importance to use less plastic. Once I have finished my sculpture, I will write a description that explains the purpose of it.
A school in San Diego called Design39Campus created a trash whale and the leader of it Camie Dyess gave me some valuable insights in the power of recycled art:
"We wanted to have the kids 'feel' the article, rather than telling them the story and hope for the best."

"I truly feel art is not about how well you draw or make things, but how you’re able to create something that will spark conversation."
