Earth is the Ultimate Commodity 2
No full textWHY THIS SUBJECT? I was inspired by my Environmental Science course to create a poster about environmentalism. Intersectionality discussions in this Art, Design and Change course inspired me to incorporate both environmentalism and capitalism. Many people in today’s society have lost touch with the natural world and only see its value in terms of how they can capitalize on the earth’s resources to make more money. Very little thought is given to how that will affect the future of the planet, human lives, and ironically the future economy. The goal of these posters is to change people’s minds about what holds the most value.
WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT THE WORK? This is a series of three posters.
WHAT WAS YOUR PROCESS? I created the base poster by first sketching an outline, then used colored pencils and markers to finish it. Cutouts of a dollar sign and a Going out of Business sign were placed on top of the base poster to make a series.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/capturingprotest/1009/thumbnail.jp
I\u27m Glad You\u27re Here
No full textWHY THIOS SUBJECT? I wanted to create a piece raising awareness to those struggling with mental health and those around them having the ability to help.
WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT THE WORK? Everything has a meaning, symbolizing something. The bright spot on the daffodil represents a spotlight to show that light has been found in the darkness, and it\u27s spreading from the top to show the power of helping others. The flowers each have a meaning, on the bottom I places a yellow carnation (rejection, disappointment), a black rose (death), a cypress flower (despair, sorrow), orchid (“I’m sorry”), an orange lily (hatred, disdain), and the black dahlia (betrayal dishonesty) to represent all the negative feelings. On the top you see a red rose (love), sunflower (happy, prosperity, romance), blue iris (faith, hope), gladiolus (strength), alstroemeria (friendship), and a lavender lilac (peace) to represent the positivity from the helping friend. The flower sprouting from the darkness is a daffodil, representing rebirth.
WHAT WAS YOUR PROCESS? I used Procreate to sketch the piece out and make the final design with color. I used a soft brush to create the glow for the center and I used the curves adjustment to give the flowers on the bottom that darkness look they have.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/capturingprotest/1011/thumbnail.jp
Interview with Purlz (LaCole Purely)
Get PDFLaCole Purley (she/her) was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 2001 and raised in the Riverview and Florissant neighborhoods of St. Louis. Purley attended McCluer North High School, where she graduated as valedictorian in 2020. While in high school, Purley was involved with Special Olympics, marching band, the theater department, and schoolwide announcements. In performing on stage at school, Purley realized her passion for the performing arts. At the end of her senior year, Purley was promoted to manager at Smoothie King and became a business owner with the Super App for Life Leadership. She juggled all of this, as well as the Coronavirus becoming a worldwide pandemic and causing McCluer High School to shut down. It was from then that she realized she wanted to go into voiceover work, while all of the theaters were closed. In the Fall of 2020, she entered into Columbia College Chicago with a major in radio and a concentration in voiceover. Puley currently lives with her grandmother and is continuing her studies from home through virtual learning.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/capturingquarantine/1026/thumbnail.jp
