Blog HW #6

The cause of my choice is the Wildlife Preservation. A fitting monument for this cause is a two-headed animal that are endangered in two different sides of the world, the head of a wolf representing their endangerment in North America and the second head; a tiger, which are highly endangered in Asia. The message this monument shows is that animals, just like humans co-own the planet. They live here. And the reality is, we're living in THEIR planet, not the other way around. And the only way for us to co-exist with such exotic animals is to leave them be. The way I view it, if we can hunt them, then they can hunt us. So the monument shows as if the wolf and tiger are scaring away any intruders of their territories, and the intruders are humans. Both ferociously growling/roaring. The wolf faces forward, his paw dominantly standing on one part of the globe that is beneath them, with endangered species written on it from around the world, not all correctly placed. Meanwhile, the tiger faces towards his left, roaring. It'd be made of bronze or something that could make it last a long time. I feel a statue like this should be placed in a popular place like in NYC, so I suppose Manhattan would be a nice choice for it's placement, mostly for the tourists to see. This monument is for those that support the Wildlife Preservation Organizations and just about anything that goes against the slaughter of wild animals for whatever reason.
(Chose not to color it in, didn't want to ruin this with my horrible coloring, also the drawing was far too big to fit in the lower half. Not entirely good at drawing the rest of the animals written on the globe so I decided to write their names so that it's known that the wolf and tiger are not the only endangered species that are to be concerned about. And also some species are misplaced because I could not draw in the rest of the earth to put them in the places that they are known for becoming endangered.)

  1. Vanessa- your idea and illustration are very good! I actually like the names of the animals written- I think iy would be a powerful way to talk about your issue in a visual form.
