The mixed media piece was developed by found objects these included a green lite bulb,some artificial flowers and a piece of carton.The goal for this piece was to promote environmental awareness and show how recycling and using products such as greenlite bulbs are small steps that can contribute towards this global issue.My inspiration was the greenlite company the company envisioned and promotedthe care of the planet is something more people should be doing.Another theme that arises besides environmental conceren is a step towards creating sustainability.
Process:
The First I began by just colecting found objects on my house once I found the greenlite light bulb I knew I wanted to base it on this global issue that is the degradation of the earths atmosphere by human conducted activities.Once I found the light bulb I decided to look for stuff that could represent the nature on earth so when I went downstairs to my basement I found these artificial very greenlike flowers I knew this would really help get my statement through.I also came across a clear vase.I then decided it would be helpful to investigate about this great company.I visisted https://www.greenliteusa.com/en/sustainability.html to get to know more about their mission as a company and the creation of their products as well as the use of the products.The energy efficient light bulbs have the capability of using less energy to produce the same amount of light output wlith the same quality and performance as traditional lighting spurces.This means not only lower bills but less impact towards teh earth thus the carbon dioxide emissions decrease.I decided afterwards that the light bulb woud be the center of my mixed media piece I experimented with the flowers and set them in the vase but I wanted to be alb e to mantian the lightbulb in the stable center this is when I decided to create a spiral like figure from the stem of the flower I then would position the green lite on the spiral of the stem, then I added more flowers to surround the light bulb.Afterwards I decided that the vase looked fgood this way but I would make a stronger statement and add more essence to the piece so I looked for other things that were reducing impact towards the environment.I found a piece of carton from a craxy 8 price tag for earrings.Using carton I created a ladder like figure which I positioned on a stem to stay stable this ladder like figure stops at the the top of the flower.
Meaning behind the piece:
The mixed media piece was developd with the purppose to promote environmental concern and show how everyone can help to create a more sustainable planet by taking small actions such as using carton instead of plastic or using these greenlite reduced energy lightbulbs as well as recycling.All these small things can contribute towards a bigger output .This issue of environmental degradation is something that is growing each day more with the human activities carried out daily.
Inspiration behind the artpiece:
The inspiration of my mixed media titled global issue was the company Greenlite.This company has created light bulbs that reduce the energy needed and create the same amount of lighting as any other light bulb.By using less energy our world is advancing to the bettering of environmental quality if not hte bettering at least the stop of the earths degradation.I decided to make a statement towards why its important to adress this global issue and the ways in which this can be achieved.
Reflection:
Creating this mixed media piece I was able to really explore how found objects can help create such a strong piece.I really enjoyed working with found objects overall I find this as one of my strenghts media.One struggle I had when creating this mixed media piece was being able to twirl the stem and make it stay like that to be able to position the light bulb.I experimented by trying to do this by attaching small plastic rubber band to it but this was no effective .I tried using the hot glue to make it stay that way and this idea failed as well that is when I decided to attach it with glue strands I made by putting glue down on a sheet of paper and unattaching these to afterwards use them to sort of tie the stem parts together.
Act Questions:
1) Clearly explain how you are able to identify the cause-effect relationships between your inspiration and its effect upon your artwork.My inspiration was the greenlite company which promotes sustainability towards our planet by creating new forms of reduced energy,My mixed media is trying to raise awarenes for the environmental factos of the planet by using one of their created lightbulbs as the main focus of the art piece.
2) What is the overall approach (point of view) the author (from your research) has regarding the topic of your inspiration?I believe this topic is critical I approach the developing of my mixed media piece in a serious matter because this is a serious matter to which we must raise awareness.
3) What kind of generalizations and conclusions have you discovered about people, ideas, cultures, etc. while you researched your inspiration?The topic of environmental issues concerns all the people and new ocmpanies are trying to create alternatives to energy to be able to be doing less of an impact towards our earth.
4) What was the central idea or theme around your inspirational research?The central idea of my research is realizing theimpact towards the environment by human activity and the effects is has, how it is important to reduce these factors.
5) What kind of inferences (conclusions reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning) did you make while reading your research?
These new forms of energy can really help ceate a more sustainable planet if everyone where to put effort into this
