作品阐述精选（末2）TRAPPED (last but one)

Ponyo is a famous character from a Hayao Miyazaki Animated film. This film is set in the ocean, with a cast of sea animals and shows the effects of overfishing, so i thought it would make an interesting subject that many people already know about.

I chose this bright cartoony style as I think a simplistic style is best to spread a message. It is easier for everybody to understand and is attractive especially to younger children & parents. It is important for all children not just adults to learn environmental protection awareness as they will be the future generation dealing with the problem people made today.

I used bright watercolour paints to create the flat colourful 2D style of Hayao Miyazaki, it is a visually pleasing, cute style & colour palette showing a very serious topic.

Ponyo is trapped in a glass bottle, it reveals a serious problem that ocean pollution affects the freedom of sea animals to live, breed and move. it even endangers the whole marine ecosystem from microscopic animals, to fish, to plants.

The ocean provides many resources for humans its also an important part of the human condition. If humans continue to pollute the ocean all the time we will be punished from nature in the end. I hope everyone can pay more attention to ocean conservation efforts.
