                                                Water tank Reflection

            The project assignment was to create an original painting that will help increase public awareness of sustainable water issues. To do this was to make something that had to do with water being shown in a symbolic form that water is being wasted and is not something that can be renewable. To complete the assignment you were to paint the form of water being wasted or how to prevent the waste of water.
            I showed the form of water being pure on one side while the other side is contaminated with dirty objects in the water. There is a frog on top of a Lilli pad on the pure side of water. The left side of the water being nice and clear and the other side being very disgusting with objects. The facial expression of the frog was sad and it looks like the frog wanted to get away from the dirty water. This shows a form of peril, the frog was in danger of the disgusting water.
            Peril was shown as the message of my artwork. Not only are we suffering from wasted water or dirty water, other important life forms are too. Natural habitats are in danger of its system to be disrupted by human way of throwing things away, or how we play around with water. Animals are too in danger of the water being nasty, they not only need water, but they need it to survive. Water is a serious matter of issue too mankind and nature, we don’t want to waste water or make it nasty, we need water to survive.
            The water will help increase public awareness by seeing the fact that the little frog wants to get away from dirty water. The water issues are a serious matter, and we can’t ignore it. If we do nothing about helping to save water, then more animals and more humans will die.
            Making up the idea was a bit rough for me, to see how to get symbolic meanings of water to be in danger of this idea, to show awareness for people to actually look at my painting and see what was meant to be shown. I think I pushed through with the idea but it wasn’t easy for me. Painting the assignment was okay, but it took a while to figure out what to paint.
            Not only was this an assignment, I actually agree with this statement of saving water. Water is a life need, not a want. We need water to survive, and my assignment showed me that this is true. I learned that natural habitats are effected by pollution in water, animals are too, and us humans to survive. These are important aspects of life that we need to view and a serious matter to not be ignored. Maybe when we really need it, mankind will actually push through together too save water, hopefully when its not too late. It was not only a project or an assignment, we have to see or get awareness of having to know that this will help us.
