I made my sculpture a relief sculpture on a piece of cardboard. It's of a boy carrying a package of bottled water. It's mostly a painting but with pieces of plastic water bottles, caps, and labels on it, and a jumble of Flint water crisis articles on the boy's coat. The elements of design I used are mostly color and shape, I guess. There's practically no form in this since it's a relief and not in the round, and the form that is there isn't significant to the meaning (it just happens to be 3D). I made this because the Flint water crisis is important to me. It's been four years and it's still not entirely fixed, and it's no longer in the news. It seems like nobody cares about it anymore. I used pieces of water bottles all around it to represent how Flint's residents' entire livelihood revolves around bottled water. The road is made of water labels since there are so many water trucks that drive the streets of the town delivering water. What's not bottled water is brown to represent the lead-contaminated water coming from the taps. I made the boy's coat out of Flint articles just to drive home how much of a problem this is for so many people. I don't actually like this very much. I had to rush a lot and as a result I messed up on practically every step of this project. The markers I used on his coat bled like crazy, I didn't have time to cut the labels in the road precisely, and the bottle pieces did not take well at all to the hot glue I used to secure them down. Ignoring the craftsmanship itself, I still don't really like it since I was also rushed in coming up with ideas. I'm generally not a very creative person, especially when there's a deadline (although even if there wasn't one I'd never come up with anything). I feel like I probably could have presented this idea better.
