Artwork Title: Summer Melt
Visual Treatment:-
Art Movement: Pop Art
Reference Artist: Andy Warhol
Theme Chosen: Global Warming
Ideation and Concept:
Global warming is a serious problem that implicates not only us humans but other species' as well. The animals most affected by global warming are the polar animals or the animals that live on either ice-capped poles. Since global warming is causing ice to dissapear at an alarming rate these animals face habitat destruction, disrupted food supply and possibly future extinction. I chose four animals that best represent the affected area; the polar bear, the penguin, the walrus and the seal.
We all know that ice cream melts in hot conditions. So the whole concept of "melting animal shaped ice-creams" best represents global warming and how it affects these creatures. It symbolises the dire state of these animals, literally 'melting away' before our own eyes.
The title of the the artwork is Summer Melt. I chose this title because the summer season is known for its hot weather and this is the time when ice cream sales shoot through the roof all over the world. The bright colours also gives the artwork a 'summer-y vibe'. The word 'Melt' obviously reflects the melting of the ice-cream in the artwork.
