Week 4: Inspiration from the Internet
This week, I was looking through design articles and I happened to come across this. These fish sculptures were build in Rio de Janeiro, completely out of used plastic bottles. They were made as an installation piece for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development. I thought that these were so cool, I think that it really shows how you can make something great out of nothing. They basically took trash, and made an amazing piece of art. I think that things like this are really inspiring and make me want to think outside of the box. It makes me realize that it is possible to create art out of uncommon objects. I also think it is really great that they made this out of used plastic bottles, I think that it is a really great use of them. So many people just throw their bottles away and they take up space in landfills, but this was a very thrifty idea, that took away from waste that would be thrown away and they probably got the old bottles for free. I think it would be so much fun to participate in a project like this, I've always wanted to create something out of recycled objects.
This really is inspiring; it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely what I'd call starting from the ground up. I like how this reflects on what can be achieved through dedication and an open mind. I also like how it turns trash into treasure; it really provokes those who care about the environment to see how much trash can build up, but also to see what can be done to fix the issue. Get it out of the landfills and into a gallery (given that there is an effort to make something beautiful!).
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen. I love that they used plastic bottles to create this piece. It's an excellent method of recycling.
