Reflection

For this piece, I tried to convey the topic of the melting glaciers and rising sea levels by using humor. I did this by indirectly pointing out the melting glaciers and the effects they would eventually have on animals through a travel poster that is advertising a nice vacation. The drinks the penguin is holding represent either a cause or an effect that relates to the topic: the red drink represents the burning of coal and fossil fuel, the yellow drink shows Antarctica melting, and the colorful drink references deforestation. The message of this artwork is that if we don’t act now and change, it will cause more damage to not only the animals depending on the habitat, but to us as well.
