Samuel Kabangai; Period one Art project

Hello my name is Samuel Kabangai, I am a junior at Science Leadership Academy.  Our quarter one benchmark we had to take something that we see everyday and transform it into a work of art.

For my project I had different ideas that i wanted to peruse that will make a statement. I decided to make a T.V out of a card board box. I made the T.V by butting out a select from portion of the box and replacing with recycle white paper. It works through the reflection of light, I used candles to make a light behind the box and i used cut of figures that i made from card board the reflect through the back of the T.V.

The inspiration for this project came through when i saw that in our school, we had many boxes that were lying around and there was no use for it and when i saw trash in the schuylkill river and majority of the trash was cardboard boxes. I though to myself that, we are informed about everything that goes on in our life today mostly through the T.V and its amazing how little things like recycling was be ignored by our society. The project was clever and unique and if someone see's it they will always remember it and maybe that will make them remember to recycle.

To make this art work i only need a cardboard box, box cutter,glue, paper and candles. The turn out of the project to me was great and i will love to build on that idea more and make it better. A future consideration will be to decorate the art work and give it a sort of spunk that will catch attention and leave a memory in anyones mind.

Bottle Cap Recycle Project

 For our bottle cap recycle project, i made a poster that showed a image of an bottle pouring in the water and the cap of the bottle was falling and on the image of the water it showed a fist eating the bottle cap. That idea came to me when my art teacher informed me that they bottle cap from our bottle drinks are not being recycled, but instead they were being thrown in the ocean and animals/food like fish were eating the bottle caps. It came to my knowledge that those fish were dying or if they don't die they are cough and people eat those fish that have these chemicals from the bottle caps in them.
