​Bottle Cap Poster

        During the beginning of my first quarter senior art class we had to make a poster on plastic bottles not being recycled. In doing this the theme of plastic bottle became the forefront of our artwork. In seeing an artist take a horrific reality of large masses of plastic caps being thrown into the water made our idea's become for awareness. In taking such a simple cap that would be discarded and allowing it to become an amazing piece of art set the tone for what we would have to convey in a poster. In making posters I decided to focus on caps not being able to recycle and society unknowingly spelling there doom.

Benchmark: Tye Dyded T-shirt
        In deciding on what to do with my artwork wasn't an easy decision. I wasn't sure how to convey the theme into an appropriate piece. So after some heavy debate I thought I'd do tye dye. In doing tye dye I didn't think it was art but, then realized art is a like a straight line there's no end to what art could be.
       After coming to that conclusion the sky was the limit. I decided to have the shirts mean more then just colorful array of lines. In having the meaning stand for a message was my big idea. Coming into this experience I was totally blinded so after some heavy youtubing and tutorials gained me a new tool. I became a beast at tye dying which allowed for my artwork to prosper.
        I'm excited I learned this tool but wish I would experiment on press numbers. In having the mail focus the tye dye then I could go more in-depth with my message instead of skinning the surface.  Overall I'm happy with my finish piece and all the different tools gained in thinking outside the box with t-shirts.
