Statement/Proposal

UPDATE: 

Instead of working off of Andy Warhol, I wanted to incorporate Banksy's unique graffiti art style into my work. Still focused on Earth and global warming, I wanted to emphasize humanity's passiveness in regards to saving our planet. While global warming is unanimously agreed upon by the scientific community, many people in positions of power express a lack of concern. I wanted to make a statement about how our passiveness is actively hurting our home. I found Banksy's art style to be particularly powerful in promoting social messages. As a result, I wanted to adopt his style. 

The intent of the project is to demonstrate the reality of global warming and emphasize our own passiveness in regards to it. My goal is to spread awareness about global warming and encourage people to not be passive. 

ORIGINAL: 

I want to underline two things in my project: the beauty and preciousness of Earth, and the fragility of Earth in the face of human actions. To underline the beauty of Earth, I want to model Earth using the pop art style Andy Warhol used to to create his famous Mao and Marilyn Monroe paintings.

To underline the fragility of Earth, I want to do something similar to Andy Warhol's "Marilyn Diptych". Juxtaposing colorful renditions of Earth with a dark and disorganized rendition of Earth will hopefully emphasize Earth's mortality and susceptibility to human pollution.
