SPACE, TIME & CREATIVITY
This piece uses a vibrant mix of acrylic paint, oil pastels, and paint pens, sealed for durability and a tactile, safe finish. Set within a surreal world, it captures a playful, whimsical spirit designed to evoke childlike wonder in viewers of all ages, inviting them to explore the boundless imagination embodied within.
ILLUSTRATIVE EDUCATION
Concept:
The design transforms the penguin into an interactive fantasy map aimed at engaging children. The map begins as a playful and imaginative cityscape but gradually shifts to depict climate disasters such as dried-up rivers, forest fires, and melting ice caps. This progression visually educates children about the realities of climate change in a way that is accessible and impactful.
Inspiration and Message:
To inspire and empower children, the design incorporates interactive elements such as "Did You Know?" speech bubbles or icons. These provide fascinating facts about sustainable innovations and eco-friendly solutions, such as renewable energy sources, biodegradable cutlery (like edible cups and spoons), and groundbreaking materials made from seaweed or other eco-friendly resources. The goal is to educate children on how they can contribute to helping the planet while sparking curiosity and hope.
Research:
Research includes similar sources like The Borgen Project and environmental news on platforms like social media & online new sources to gather information about cutting-edge sustainable practices, such as reintroducing & replanting of coral reefs, plastic eating enzymes or large community gardens. These innovations will be woven into the map to show actionable ways to care for the environment.
