Personal Narrative: Polar Bear In Artic Sea

What I find beautiful is something that catches my attention. Say I am walking down the street and see a mural of some sort; I am not going to stop and take a break for just any painting. I stop and look because it catches my attention. Usually being something that I am interested in. Going with that it has to catch my emotions. If it is a happy painting or a sad painting, either in my eyes can be beautiful. If it is trying to portray something meaningful through their artwork using emotions. Another thing that I find makes something beautiful is if it catches my eye and want to look at it even with our busy lives running around.

The purpose of the artwork is that it is trying to get people to comprehend that global warming is actually happening even if we say it is not. There is nowhere for the polar bear to go to because all of the ice is melted around him. This is a powerful photograph proving to people all around the world that it is happening. The sad part is, it only works on a small amount of people. We are so in tune with our lives that we feel sad for two minutes and the next we move on to the next thing. The composition of the artwork is a photograph. It is showing that the polar bear has nowhere to go. The photographer used a certain perspective.

The polar bear is the first thing your eyes are drawn to, which I think is the whole purpose of the photo. I think we should pay most attention to the vast area of the water around the polar bear. The water goes on and on with the next ice out of reach. I have kind of said what this photo means but to me it really hits a spot with him hence the reason I picked the photo. I think the artwork is trying to say, “pay attention to what is going on around you”. “I am out here dying while you are on your way to work in your car”. I mean I guess you wouldn’t have to go quite that far but it is showing us that global warming is happening. As I was reading in the book this photo was big for environmentalist, which I completely understand, it is sad to see this happening. Many people probably do not care about this artwork because as you know many people do not believe global warming is happening. People should care about this artwork because it is important for our kids and next generations to realize it is happening like it or not. This artwork has a powerful meaning and I wish more people would understand
