The artist has deliberately created a strong image showing scooters crowded together in busy traffic suffering from heavy air pollution to draw attention on the impact of pollution on the social environment. The artist has used the fixed point perspective method to construct the picture. The picture used tall buildings as the background and overlapping scooter riders as the visual center. This picture wanted to show how depressed people are about air pollution and how annoying it is for people to have to wear masks. He has done this by drawing peoples facial expressions to show their unhappiness. Such an image touched the heart of a teenager and showed how much people feel helpless about their living environment. This is a typical example of tactile expression in art.
It is a good starting point for children to use real-life experiences to increase their awareness of natural and environmental issues. It is a topic that is very close to some people hearts and this image serves as a reminder to people about the importance of protecting nature. |
