How do you think the audience will react to your artwork?
In my opinion, I believe it will make the audience more aware of the purpose of environmental protection, remind them of the need to be more aware of environmental issues and the importance of sustainable development, and motivate them to take action to protect the environment. It can also help build a sense of community identity and help them feel supported in their efforts to solve social problems.

I chose these two artists Mary Mattingly and Olafur Eliasson, for my research essay because these artists are both focusing on the most important climate change and environmental issues in the world. Many people do not understand or are not willing to understand the events behind the city we live in , At the same time, they created many different art forms to show to people, These two artists are successful in their artworks.

2. Why do you think it is important to discuss the issue addressed by these artists today?
I think it's important to discuss about these artists today, Because these artists play an important role in promoting the development of society. The art works they create can resonate with people, penetrate people's thoughts and change people's habits, which is also the power and importance of art to change the real society.

In my view art can change the world, but art will not change things directly, it will become a neutral place of communication and discussion, gives people the possibility to discuss and change the world and change their perceptions and consciousness. In this way giving action to change the world in today's society.
Through performances, installations and social media photography and video or painting, to engage bystanders in environmental communities and to make meaningful artistic interventions at public events and elsewhere, a few paintings and some interesting ideas can bring people together and have a positive impact on people's lives, thus raising public awareness, and this is the power of art.

One: About JR and his art activism
The artist JR believes that art must be out on the streets in order to make it accessible to more people and to be aware of the social and political issues his works are trying to address. So he used portrait photography and posters to get more people involved and show them to the public.

Artist JR believes that art can change the world, and he feels that doing so is about changing stereotypes, showing similarities between people, and encouraging people in the community to think and realize the importance of social issues.

In my opinion, as we talked about in the sustainability project, the solution to the problem of environmental pollution should take sustainability into account. When we buy something, we should consider whether we will use it in our lives as well as how we will deal with it in the end...

Artist Jacqueline Traide spent around 10 hours in a shop window imitating the cosmetics industry's animal trials in April 2012 during a demonstration against animal testing in London. Cosmetics companies test eye makeup on hundreds of animals. When consumers realized that this industry is based on the senseless suffering and death of millions of innocent animals, consumers were shocked.

Thousands of bystanders witnessed the stunt and watched her endure the agony of the experiment in order to highlight the abusive experiences the animals suffered.

From Ron Mueck work, MASS. He used traditional sculpting methods to create the skulls, which involved a lot of steps, and the process of making the skulls was complex, followed by the painting of the painted parts, which required very detailed painting. The installation process also required a lot of thought and consideration. He had to consider the position and angle of the skulls using equipment and slings as well as the safety of the audience, which was a huge challenge.

I learned from his work experience: Making an artwork or design necessarily involves a careful creative process, and we need to think more about making artwork i f you don't express your imagination you can't achieve the purpose of communication and dissemination. It is also important for the audience to be receptive, the receiver will appreciate the artwork with their own vision of expectations.

Activism is when an organisation or individual takes the lead in organising campaigns or expressing their opinions to get the attention of others and in this way spreads information to persuade others. They do this to achieve a certain goal or to change society.

In October 2019, Jane Fonda organised a Greenpeace group "Fire Drill Friday" . At each “Fire Drill Friday” climate change rally protest, Fonda's celebrity friends as well as experts and activists take turns speaking on environmental issues and protesting weekly in Washington to stop the climate crisis.

According to my research, Mary Mattingly's artwork was made up of personal objects from her life that she then tied together with twine.  Her process of taking this huge and heavy object on the road to the show was hard.

Nowadays we live in a world of mass-produced things. From the over-exploitation of the planet to the harmful chemicals used to make from raw materials that all bring serious harm to the environment and human beings.

She attempts to make people aware that they must take action to protect the environment and change the world.

In the picture on the left, the statue of Sun Yat-sen was built in a park in the centre of our city.  On the right, the statue of Sun Yat-sen was built in front of a museum in the suburbs of our city.

As we can see, both of these statues were built by our city government to commemorate Sun Yat-sen who has a very important position in our country, and our city was the starting point of Sun Yat-sen's Northern Expedition in 1922, where he gathered his forces for the Northern Expedition, a historical event that unified China and eliminated the chaos of warlords around the country, which expanded China's strength.

Through my findings, The statues of historical greats such as these place special emphasis on heroism and they are rich in positive energy. They can pass on this positive spirit, they can have a tremendous moral subliminal effect on the people of today, inspire people to moral principles and moral norms in the emotional identification and resonance.
I believe that the statue on the left is more meaningful than the one in the park. The statue on the left was built at the entrance of the museum, which allows the statue to reflect the social life at that time,  there is a brief introduction board under the statue. makes the viewer keep curiosity to go into the museum to continue to know the great history of this historical great man's contribution to the country.

This is the swimming pool art installation in 21st Century Museum of Art, where the artist Leandro Erlich isolates the underwater space with a piece of clear glass, allowing people to enter the blue space beneath the glass, and people on the shore of the pool can see through the waves of water to the audience walking in the pool. The mystery of the work is that the pool is actually an empty room.This gives the audience a different perspective, and the point is that it is i nteractive.

My view is that the artist Leandro Erlich wants to change people's perception of common sense through his art installation, to make people look at things around them and see the world in a new way.

His work has been widely discussed on the Internet due to its unique and interesting appearance, which can bring a subtle influence on people's thinking.
