Medium #1- Art

"The portraits of hundreds of endangered bird species are now on display in a beautiful series of artworks across Upper Manhattan. The Audubon Mural Project kicked off in October 2014 with a mission to depict the large number of birds threatened by global climate change. So far, 314 species are represented across 20 artworks in the area surrounding the old neighborhood of John James Audubon."

These pieces of art I came across whilst looking into the graffiti that raises awareness of subjects. I found this work on the side of buildings in Upper Manhattan and thought it not only looked beautiful but advertised a really big issue in the world. These beautiful pieces of artwork inspired me to create something bright and honest. I love the way the colours stand out and the way the birds catch your eye. I believe this is a really effective way of raising awareness endangered animals and birds specifically which in society are not noticed as much as other endangered animals.
