Intro to Design Theory - Final Assignment (Eco-Art Sculpture)

For this assignment, my group member,Faeona and I decided to choose Resource Depletion as our topic. Faeona thinks that most of the people only care about deforestation, air pollution or limited petrol left but not the other resources such as flora and fauna.

Besides, we want to make a sculpture which not only serves as display purpose but ALSO can be used. So, we kinda like developed something like tables and chairs. (We were both having headache when lecturer wants us to give her our idea for our sculpture LOL) To prevent something like chairs or tables collapsing when the judges sit on them, we decided to make tables and chairs for little children. So, when the chairs or tables really collapse, we can say because the lecturers are not with the little children's weight, therefore, the chairs or tables could not support their weight XD

OK, now we have the idea, then we'll need to explain them @@ the shape, the purpose the colours @@

What? The A for Ur Q
In recent years, the depletion of natural resources and attempts to move to sustainable development have been major focus of development agencies. This is particularly concern in rainforest regions, which hold most of the Earth's natural biodiversity-irreplacable natural capital. Resources depletion is defined as exploitation of natural resources which includes consumerism, logging, fishing and mining. (sources from wikipedia.com)

Why? The Microscoping Project
  • Kids - they're like sponge,absorbing what's around them. We will have to teach them since young. Hence, we approach little kids.
  • Bell Shape Table - Ringing the alarm to alert everyone that resource depletion is getting worse.
  • Puzzle Table - The blend and mix of every one's effort. The <(He+She+U+Me)(Efforts)=Greatest Effect > concept
  • Circle tray - The shape without edges, means there's no harm to work together to save our Mother Earth. Also represents the unity of every one's effort.
  • Colours - Blue as the sky for the tray on the top, Green as the forest for the tables, Brown as the earth for the chairs.
  • Usages- Kid's activity table, Garden Furniture for Kids
  • Tighten the bonding between parents and kids as this is something that parents can do together with their childrens ^^
How?The Reversing Concept
What we had done is done. Now we should try to reduce all the activities which will worsen the problem. So, We will have to try to reverse what we had done to the Earth and make it whole again @@

Huhu~ done with the explanations...actually all these explanations are in the presentation boards lolz just in case the pictures are too small that you could not read what is written on them xD

Sketched plan for the table
Things needed ( egg trays, the roll of paper from fabric shop, cans and boxes)
