1. The past is worth preserving because it allow us to understand the world that the generations of people before us lived in. It also allow us to experience great connections to the environment and help us to appreciate the beauty of the Earth. We might preserve the past to understand it better and experience the amazing nature and environment.
2. As an artist, there are many ways that I can improve the environment. When an artist creates a piece, it should represent what they stand for. To improve the environment, I could make piece stand for environmental protection. An artist can also make a piece that would raise environmental awareness. I can also improve the environment by creating a piece using recycleable products, which don't create waste nor harm the environment.
3. The rights and responsibilities of an artist are to better the world through their paintings, drawings, sculptures and masterpieces. An artist shows viewers how they feel about certain things in the world and helps others understand the subject in this creative process. Artists can create things that can or can't normally appear in the world, and its their right and responsibility to create these realisitic or fictional figures in a way that they can represent positive or insightful things.
Project Report:
To begin the cardboard animal sculpture project, I had to pick an animal to create. I looked through several pictures and decided to create a shark because I had used sharks in previous project and I was good at creating their frames. I began by drawing a shark's back fin. I originally had trouble with the big exacto knifes and couldn't cut the cardboard with them very well. I decided to try the smaller exacto and they work much better. I found that it was easier to control the smaller blade and I could cut more precisely. Therefore, I used the small exacto knife for the rest of the project. I cut out the first fin and traced the second onto the cardboard, which then I cut out. I now had to create the body of the shark. I followed the same process as before and had created two sides of the shark's body. Then, I made several slots on each 'body part' of the shark, making sure that they were lined up each time. After that, I had to connected the two bodies. Originally I thought that I would connect them with a striaght piece of cardboard, but I decided to use cardboard circles with slots in them because they add the form to my shark and make it more realitic. I cut out the circles, trying to make each bigger the closer to the middle of the shark they got. I had to recut some of my circles because the size was off a couple times. After the circles were done, I glued on the back fins. Finally, I drew an eye on each side of the shark's body.
To create my shark, I used form, space and line. I used form by using circles as a shark's body frame, which increased in size the closer it got to the middle of the shark as a real shark does. Form was present with the shark's parts being in proportion to each other. For example, the shark's fin were glued beside each other because they are very thin. I created space within the shark with the space between each slot and the space between the two sides of the body. I used line for the shark's figure, the straighter lines would represent the stronger parts of the shark, whereas the curved lines would represent the parts that a shark uses to swim and move around in the ocean. Line is also used throughout the piece by creating parallel lines to each other for the body of the shark and the slots to attach correctly and accurately.
