The Igloo
1. What is the most successful element of this work sample? Why do you believe this?
The artist uses recyclable items that we use daily. for example he uses newspapers, paper cups and plastic bags. Instead of trowing them away, he uses them to create an igloo.
2. What is the message of the work? How do you know?
I think his message is that, even in remote conditions like he is, you can create something beautiful from household objects that might destroy our environment. maybe someone, in a near future we might depend on these items to help us live trough our rough climate.
3. Who or what is the intended audience for this work? How do you know?
Intended audience can be anyone, that can figure this object out. Young children will find this interesting and they can start creating their own artwork. Young adults can build more complex examples and so on. the main idea is to recycle and reuse what you might consider trash.
4. How do specific elements of the work sample come together to deliver the message?
Plastic bags are used all the time and they are found in beaches. these bags can be recycled and reuse. Newspapers or any type of mail that might never get used, can be recycled. in fact you can call any magazine that you rarely read and cancel your subscriptions in order to save more trees. As we all know trees are critical for the survival of humanity.
5. Describe one technique the creator of this work used. Why do you think this technique was used for this specific piece of work?
This is an igloo from artist David Hamlow.
It consists of trash collected and includes newspapers, paper cups and plastic bags.
I noticed that it has no or few flexibility, especially in the entrance. the dimensions seem wrong because it has odd edges.
6. Why did you choose this work sample?
This piece stood out, because it represents a type of housing or refugee for some people. It gives a message of preserving our habitat.
