My group did a project on environmental issues regarding bodies of water, such as lakes and oceans. We discussed several key environmentalists such as Margaret Mead and efforts such as Earth Day. Our focus was on the coasts and the Great Lakes. Perhaps the most important problem surrounding these bodies of water is the issue of oil spills. We listed several historic oil spills and, through pictures, showed their effects on marine wildlife.
Most of our items were pictures, all taken during the era between 1970 and 1990. Some were of demonstrations during Earth Day, some were maps of the Great Lakes, and some focused on general topics such as oil spills and trash on the beach. On top is the most noticeable item, a Pennzoil bottle. This represents the oil spills. We have also included a dirty water bottle stuffed with trash, found around the Gunn campus. This symbolizes the water with trash in it.
If I could do this project over, I would probably come up with more unique found art items rather than just pictures to make it more creative. Also, my group would help assemble it at home rather than assemble everything on one day.
My advice to next year's class: Take this project seriously; don't wait until the last minute!
