Proposals for Recycled Art Projects

For both the individual as well as group project I have one proposal. However if it was done as a group then the major difference would be the size at which we make it. The orca whales in Sea World are getting released, which I am very happy to hear about since there awful treatment inside the facility and lack of space. Although they cannot be released into the ocean the idea is that hopefully they will be taken care of in a well taken care of facility where they can go in part of the ocean, we will have to see what they decide. This shows that the world wants to see the animals of the ocean well cared for, then again, about 80% of what people litter ends up in the ocean. Miles and miles of litter are in the ocean. There is also pollution and many other terrible affects that we have on the ocean which is causing the overall health of the ocean to decline and therefore killing much of what is in it. I propose, making the whale, cover it in black paint dripped on it to look like oil, then make a huge ocean underneath it that is all made of bottles and cans cut out smoothly to replicate actual waves, to represent the litter. Behind him I would want to make a chain fence that insinuates that he is leaving Sea World so eagerly, only to be disappointed. Although we are releasing the whales from Sea World, what would we really be giving them the freedom to except the dead and dirty water that we have destroyed? Either way the whales lose. Then, make the whales mouth a recycling bin, if it is a big enough whale! That way it is interactive and shows people can do the smallest thing to help.
