Environment

Environment definition= the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates.

Environment can mean a lot of things as it is such a huge thing that is why there are some many different art paths you can go down with this topic including poster advertisement magazines etc.

Within this topic I have managed to get different synonyms that link to the word and choice the words that stand out for me and look at outcome I could possible do for them, the words that stand out for me are WEATHER, CLIMATE CHANGE, HOT, COLD, HABITAT, PLANETS and POLITICS all these word have a big link to the word environment and I have come up with different outcome I can create.

Below are images of my note book and spider diagram that I use to do quick fire ideas to get the ball rolling before going deep into research on the internet and it helps me target thing I need to research more into.

Artwork that I could create for each word:

HABITAT

With this word I could create individual mini worlds/realms that are inspired by the elements of the world and different wether conditions that we fast including a hot world, snowy world etc.

With these mini creations I could add them to a publication or a magazine showing all or them or could dedicate each outcome to its own individual poster.

When I was looking for inspiration I was looking at mobile games that have Been create that focus on the genre of fantasy as they create artwork that I really like the style of and some them give of a Scandinavian/nordic style which I really like, I also had I really big inspiration from a designer called cruschiform (pagent Pekka)

Artwork I can do with this topic in mind: 

Posters

Publications

Photography

Animations

Magazines

Postcards

Digital drawings

Hand based work

Marie-Laure Cruschi (pagent Pekka) art work is block colour but have texture to it but I like the style of their work there layout colour pallets and just overall look.

I watch 2 of her live stream but as there were very long I skied through them so I could look at the process of what she created mainly, below are the two videos I watched.

COLD/HOT

Cold and hot can link to a lot of things that are linked to the environment, one of them is focusing on WEATHER, TEMPERATURE and CLIMATE CHANGE so this is were I though I could create outcome from and focus on these topics as these topics were on my spider diagram and I can link to them.

I though I could create posters on the ice caps melting and the forest fire that have been happing this relates to the topic of the words COLD and HOT which is good for creating poster I can focus on portraying a message of warning and also with this art it would be focusing on opposite so I could use a restricted colour pallet for each topic blues and whites for cold and reds, oranges and yellows for hot.

With in this word topic of cold and hot I would be able to involve a lot of photography that I could edit on the programs of Lightroom and photoshop.

When I was looking for inspiration I was looking on Pinterest and came across this website with loads of different artist/designers that focus artwork on climate change and global warming and getting the word out there some of the designer I like are from the artist, Emily Giglio, Andrei Popov, Shepard Fairey and Aaron Jay

Art I could create with the word cold and hot;

Protest posters

Postcards

Animations 

CLIMATE CHANGE, POLITICS

Climate change and politics is a big thing in this world now and that is why art and this topic will link well together as you will be able to get warning out via images.

The only thing with this topic Is if I choice to do it I will have to thing of something very unique with in it because so many outcome and art have already been done.

But when I was thinking of things to do I though about focusing on war poster and using that as inspiration for outcome as in the war there were very powerful and that Is what I need to create powerful art as we need the government to listen to what is happening.

Newspaper 

New republic newspaper had a few bit of art in them that have the style or war time art but the message of global warming which I really like as that is the image I had in mind. 

I could also focus on the uncle sam poster as that is a well knows poster or the we can do it poster as well.

Art I could create with the words climate, politics:

War themed posters

Protest banners

Postcards

Magazine

PLANET

Again this word topic with in environment is linked to the fist word I focus on which is habitat 

I was thinking I could focus on the different planets in our solar system and create different planets that have different environments on them.

But then thing that I will focus on is creating some timeline art if I was to create this as I could communicate the message of the planet diving through imagery and graphics the art would show the world 100 yers ago and then 50 years ago then now and what it will look like in 50/100 years time.

Another thing that you could focus on is our planet and deforestation and what the planet looked like from above and now and show how much the trees have gone and with in this you could produce poster agin to warn people and start to help. (make poster for a tree campaign) 

The idea about making a tree campaign poster was from me looking at THE GUARDIAN 

It had an artic called “ humans have destroyed a tenth of earths wilderness in 25 years”

And it really go me think about what I could create.

Art work that I can create:

Poster

Item designs for tree campaign 

Postcards

Publications

Leaflets

Magazines

I have watch a couple of different videos on YouTube that show the seriousness of the topic and shows that the art work that could be create has to be powerful, strict, bold and serious: 

(two of the videos I watch talk about deforestation and show sat alit view of the world then and now and the other talks about what will happen in 2020 and it show that stuff need to happen now and it makes you realise a lot)

I was looking up plants that grow in the British Isles (for Helga’s flower crown, garden and such) and I found a pretty weed named Ragwort (nice flowers, not so good for eating or touching). I was inspired.. could this be half a reason for the Founders to name Hogwarts ? But then I was curious.. if there was Ragwort and Cow Parsnips, could there maybe be a Hogwort?(the wort part being changed over time like so many names are) 

So I looked it up:

"THAWING PERMAFROST COULD RELEASE MUCH MORE METHANE THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT"

 A team of researchers at the German Research Centre for Geosciences has discovered another major source of emissions of methane that would result from the thawing of tundras. These seeps from ancient gas deposits underneath the frozen ground have been known about for a while, but until now, they have been poorly understood.  This new study was conducted over 10,000 square kilometres of the Mackenzie Delta in Canada. In this land, it was found that the seeps were responsible for 17 percent of the total greenhouse gas emissions from the land even though they comprised of about one percent of the area.  One of the most feared scenarios of global warming is that as the temperature rises, the vast amount of organic material currently trapped in ice could be released into the atmosphere, causing an even more vicious effect on the global temperature.  “We were a bit surprised … we saw these very strong emissions. It means a very tiny fraction of the area produces quite a big share of the estimated annual emissions," said Professor Torsten Sachs, one of the researchers behind this study. “And that tells us maybe we should not just focus on biogenic methane production in the upper lawyers of the permafrost, but pay a bit more attention to this potential effect."

José Cabrera- concept artist for God Of War

This piece of Skyrim artwork is cool and gives off a "frozen in time" look like that of the Gallifrey Falls/No More painting in Doctor Who special Day Of The Doctor, especially with the motion-blur and bits of debris flying everywhere, It captures a piece of time, allowing it to be viewed for all eternity, those within are trapped within a single moment, like a slice of time suspended in motion.

Eytan Zana- He is a concept artist behind the Uncharted series, specializing in environment design

This piece of artwork from Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is an awesome and spectacular piece that encapsulates the intensity and ferocity of a duel in a raging fire, where options for survival and escape are limited and the need to do whatever is necessary to survive arises.
