Sketches: Environmentalism

Theme: Environmentalism

Reference Artist: Wassily Kandinsky

Art Movement: Expressionism

Why Choose Environmentalism?
  The world we live in faces ever growing environmental problems and i feel inspired to create an awareness of its problem through my understanding and perspective.

Problem Statement:
  Humans irresponsibility to the environments health has always been an ongoing topic for discussion as what we do to the environment around can affect us in the future in different consequences, for example global warming. 

Purpose of content:
 To alert people of the consequences of their irresponsibility towards mother nature and the environment we live in, and to show that what the future may hold for our irresponsibility towards the environment.

Research question:
 -What will our future look like if we do not act?
 -Capitalism vs Environmentalism
 -Fictional hope? alternatives?

Pencil Sketching(hand phone camera quality):
Capitalism vs Environmentalism

Capitalism vs Environmentalism

a sketch depicting the two ideas using eyes as a medium to show that both ideas can never see eye to eye

Road of Capitalism

This sketch depicts a road to a factory with development projects going on nearby while showing the amount of trees that were cut down to represent how little value is nature to the world we live in today.

A future of Capitalism

A rough sketching that shows people going to work in a giant factory. The factory represents the future of capitalism while the empty space on the sides of the sketch represents wastelands, because in this fictional depiction of the future, plants are nowhere to be found.

Fictional hope? Alternatives?

Planting life back into earth

This sketch shows a plant's root growing into the earth and showing a mirror where trees are growing to show that growing a plant may not change much, but with effort we can still make the world a better place.

Lamp-plant

a sketch showing a Lamp-plant, where we can see that the plant has a light bulb for a head and lives on electricity. The idea came to me as a question where by why people cannot treat plants as importantly as we would to a normal lamp at night and what if plants were lamps?

Make plants not nukes

The sketch shows plants growing out of nuclear contained barrels to show that instead of always creating weapons of mass destruction, why not create a little peace by planting trees instead? Sounds like a better proposition than war.

Cube of growth

This sketch was inspired by the All spark from Transformers which could give life to their species. The cube shows life growing out of it to show it can give life to plants . This cube is a type of fictional hope for humanity when all else fails to preserve nature there is this cube to give them one last hope.

What may the future look like if we do not act?

The world as we know it

This sketch shows the daily pollution found in the world such as river pollution, rubbish mountains and carbon dioxide emissions. These pollutions are depicted by the different buildings seen in the sketch. The break in the ozone shows what we are facing lately which is global warming, and on the right we can see a huge iceberg waiting to be melted by the sun with the aid of global warming.

The eight wonder of the world

This sketch shows the last tree in the world is preserved in a frozen state to be shown to tourists in an exhibition hall. In relation to the title, this sketch depicts a modern fictional world where trees are nowhere to be found anymore and the only living tree is  preserved as a worldwide attraction hence the eight wonder of the world.

Rocky pollution

This sketch shows a rocky mountain being polluted by unwanted barrels.

When there is one

This sketch shows a man holding a plant. The man holding a plant is wearing a bio-hazard suit. This is to show that the world in the future is so polluted and radioactive that everyone has to get one of these suits to stay alive. In relation, the watch on his left arm shows the date and year he is in, which depicts a fictional post apocalyptic era where war and pollution has polluted the earth and virtually destroyed all plants in the world. The plant he is holding represents the only plant left in the world. This sketch is drawn to create awareness among people that what our future may look like if we do not act now and start appreciating.
