Sketches-Part 1

Art Movement : Cubism
Chosen theme : Environmentalism
Artist              : Pablo Picasso

Introduction
Environment is very important for human being. We depend on each other to survive. For example, trees depend on our carbon dioxide to survive and we depend on their oxygen to survive. Imagine the world without grass, tress and animals, people will be living in a dull and boring place. Besides that, we might not even live in this world without their oxygen.

Problem Statement
I choose environmentalism because nowadays I see a lot of pollution everywhere. With more waste, it is like filling our house with more rubbish. The environment is our second home. Therefore, I think it is important for us as human being to conserve the environment.

Purpose of Content
Through my drawings, I hope the people will reduce, reuse and recycle to minimize the impact of pollution. I also hope that people can see the consequences of pollution.

Research Question
How do we protect the environment and what are the consequences if we don't do so?

Girl Protecting the Earth
A girl is holding the earth, whole picture represents protecting the earth from destruction or any other pollution. 
Beautiful World
An environment without pollution or any other destruction will be full of joy and happiness. 
Save the Earth
The cube represents the earth. The earth needs injection, signifies that the earth is "sick" as a result of human behaviour and needs to be saved. 
Flower and Butterfly
Again, the environment without pollution will be full of beautiful creatures.
Glass
Represents the recycling of glass or glass bottles.
Tree on Fire
Giant tree represents forest, the picture is talking about forest destruction.

Elements of Design Analysis
Lines: Curve and interchanging lines.
Colours: Mostly bright colours are used.
Values: Strong contrast between the bright fire and the dark coloured tree.
Texture: Smooth.
Shape: Square, triangle, rectangle, quadrilateral and all types of shapes, hand free.
Proportion: Figures are stretched, contorted and twisted.

Principles of Design Analysis
Balance: Asymmetrical.
Rhythm and Movement: Fire gives this picture the appearance of movement.
Repetition: Shapes and colours.
Scale: Real.
Unity: Appears to be unified. 
Garbage World
If we don't take care of the environment, the earth will be full of garbage. Square background represents garbage, a man is surrounded by garbage.
Cans
Recycling of cans.

Elements of Design Analysis
Lines: Straight, vertical, horizontal, curve, interchanging.
Colours: Black and white.
Values: Mild contrast between the cans and the background.
Texture: Smooth.
Shape: Geometric and rectangle.
Proportion: Figures are stretched, contorted and twisted.


Principles of Design Analysis
Balance: Asymmetrical.
Repetition: Shapes.
Scale: Real.
Unity: Unity in shapes and shades.
Water and Plants
If there is water, plants will grow. Emphasize conservation of water.

Elements of Design Analysis
Lines: Straight, horizontal, vertical, curve, interchanging.
Colours: Light colurs are used.
Values: Use of light colours give a mild contrast.
Texture: Smotth.
Shape: Square, rectangle, round.

Principles of Design Analysis
Balance: Asymmetrical.
Repetition: Shapes and colours.
Scale: Some squares are small and some are big. Water appears to be bigger than plants.
Unity: In colours and shapes.
Air Pollution
Factories produce smoke that causes air pollution.
Oil Leaking
Colourful squares represent oil leaked by the ship, which contributes to water or sea pollution that could harm many species that survive under the sea.
