For the Environmental Art Project, I chose to focus on the need for balance with respect to advertising. To do so I created a paper-mache figure. I then covered the figure in advertisements to represent how we as humans are constantly bombarded with advertising. Practically every part of our bodies and minds are constantly being advertised to. The figure is in the process of peeling an advertisement off of its arm. In front of the figure I constructed a scale to represent the balance that needs to be found. Overall, the meaning I intended for my project was that advertising and media is okay, but we need to have a balance and not let it entirely consume us to the point where we can't tell what's up or down, although, you can derive whatever meaning best suits you, its more fun that way :)
Awesome art project. GREAT message about balance in our media diet. Kudos! :)
