Wonderful Wearable Arts
Yesterday we had a Wearable Arts Show with the main idea of plastic. This term we have been learning about the problems plastic is causing and how we need to act fast. We then had to make a outfit that represents the thing that hit home the most. We decided to make a whale that was being killed by the micro plastics and plastics they eat. Here is our speech and some photos of the night:
A Whale of a Problem
Imagine. A world without plastic. Imagine. Crisp, fresh air. Imagine. Clear waterways.
Imagine, the fish thriving once more. I find it sad that we now have to imagine all these
aspects of life that should come as a natural part of our world. Yet that life is since long
gone, and we are now faced with a new life, that could kill everything in its path with
one single material. Plastic.

Plastic, and recently microplastics are the biggest problem that marine life faces, even
the biggest creatures in the ocean, the whales can’t face the ever growing plastic that
surrounds them.

Our dress reflects what is happening to the marine life. The small splatters on the skirt
and the top represent the microplastics that are slowly killing the whales, along with
the creatures around them. An estimated one million birds and 100,000 marine
mammals and sea turtles die each year when they become trapped in plastic or eat it.
Everything that these outfits are made of are found in our oceans. We need to do
something about it. This could be the cause of extinction of the whales as we know it,
and it is all because of us.
