Greatest Wonder of The Sea
Andreka Wilkes
ENG. 101 Sec. 047
1) INTRO My name is Andreka Wilkes and I am a part of the RSO at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale called SAVE OUR PLANET. Our president of our organization has launched a new campus community initiative advertising project concerned with water management and environmentally friendly behavior by marketing companies. In this project we will be analyzing an advertisement relating to water using some methods we have reviewed in class. The ad I will be analyzing is called Greatest Wonder of The Sea by Green Peace. Overall, the ad does a great job at getting their point across to stop pollution in natural water environments, and also they effectively connect with their target audience. I will go in depth and totally break the ad down to be analyzed. I will do this in three sections: Physical Appearance, Analysis, and Evaluation.
2) PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
At first glance the most noticeable thing is the pictures many colors. The most dominant color is blue, like an ocean blue. You can also clearly see the sun shining in the water causing there to be different colors. There are deeper and lighter shades of blue like an ocean. The part of the picture that pops out is a body of things moving through the water of many colors, almost like a school of fish. There are colors present like pink, green, yellow, etc. In the picture’s background, there is a scenic ocean set up. There is a big pink coral present, along with other coral reefs, bodies of sponges, anemone, and other things that you would normally see on an ocean floor. The things in the background, away from the colorful things in the picture are very dark. It sort of fades out into a really deep ocean blue. There is also a sign in the picture that is the brightest color in the picture, which is a cream white. The sign also has bold blue words on it, smaller black words underneath, and medium green colored words.

    The dominant colors are sea blue, a tint of gray, and within the cracks, a soft gold. Only a few soft colors are being used, therefore creating a muted piece of art. There is a certain sense of harmony in the vessel because the gold and the grayish-blue combine well together forming a balance that does not allow one color to show more vividly than another.…

    First off, the use of sharks swimming around in their tank with smirks on their faces is an excellent way to capture the reader by its use of pathos. It plays on the emotions that are attached with the thought of sharks and what they are capable of. The only wording in this advertisement besides the title on the building is, “Come on in… the water’s fine…”. This also appeals emotionally to the reader because it suggests the sharks are saying it. Alternative financing lenders can be clever in their use of wording to attract consumers.…

    The colours remind me of the ocean and the creatures that live inside of it. The tentacles are long and sharp at the ends. It is scaly and also looks like blue coral in the ocean. It reminds me of how the ocean and how the colours are dark blue in some places and then when you get closer to the shore the colours become lighter you see this happening with the yellow, blue and light greens.…

    There are a number of different hues of blue used in the body of water and also white highlights. The white highlights give implied light since there is no actual light source. Many of the darker hues are behind the boats, creating shadows on the water. The painting mostly consists of primary colors, red, yellow, and blue. Green and orange, secondary colors, can also be seen within the painting.…

    My favorite animals are Dolphins and whales and it is because of that love that this photo caught my eye the most. Ever since I was a little girl I loved the ocean and I wanted to be a marine biologist so I could work closely with those beautiful animals. The artworks I tend to be attracted to are that of dolphins and whales and of oceanic scenery. To look at the photograph of the humpback whale, captured in his natural habitat, it looks like a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The whale was beautifully captured in action during his swim. I feel the light that is shining through the ocean surface is illuminating the whale in his dive because around the whale, on the edges, are dark and black; only the whale is brightly shining. Then I looked into the whales’ eye and I felt a kind of loneliness and it looked like the whale was sad. I do not know if there were other whales with him but in his eye it looked like he was sad and lonely and wanted a friend. Wayne Levin’s “diving Humpback Whale” photograph, and his other works, gives us a look into their world and I feel that the black and white genre gave a more detailed look of the whale. The black and white color makes it seems timeless and…

    I believe the bright colors are making a statement to emphasize on the major parts of the artwork. Showing the motion, makes you move your eyes along the imaginary wave. The slight tone of yellow makes me think of the sun come through the wave. The soft light of the off white background makes me think of a light blue sky that is clear of everything. Vague colors made me stare at the picture for long periods of time so that way I could understand why he created this on in particular. I thought maybe like times when he got bored and went to the museum; he created a scene of his bus ride there. Maybe he pictures himself at a beach and what it would be like to sit and watch someone ride a…

    The uttermost unifying piece of this artwork is the color. The use of atmospheric perspective relies on the color palette. It heightens the ephemeral quality of light and nature because it is constantly changing. The blues and purples are subtle and encompass the majority of the canvas. The blues are minutely changed and layered against one another. Dow’s color palette is made up of only complimentary colors that strengthen the contrast and reinforce the inspiring nature of light and form. Greens and reds are prominent in the foreground and appear grid like giving each level of rock…

    There are mostly organic lines with varying lengths. The wave looks like one long curved line and then the smaller ripples in the ocean decrease in length as they come closer but are also wavy. This contrasts with the straight line in the trunk of the palm tree. You can also see the vertical lines from the surface of the cardboard. Despite cutting into the cardboard, there are only 2D shapes. I manipulated the positive and negative shapes through intuitive perspective. Occlusion is visible with the big wave and the palm tree covering the rest of the ocean. Texture gradient and relative height on ground plane are both seen in the ripples of the ocean. The wavelength of the ripples decrease the farther back it goes and they get higher on the ground plane the farther back they get in order to give the ocean distance. I chose to paint everything it’s local color, the ocean is blue, the sun is yellow, the palm fronds are green, and the cloud is white. There are various tints of the primary colors and a couple secondary colors. The ocean and wave is monochromatic but with multiple values. I made the value scale of blue on the wave to make it stand out from the rest of the ocean. The white on the crest puts emphasis on the wave because it is more saturated than the rest of the colors. I used analogous hues for the sun with the red, orange, and yellow. The…

    People tend to believe that the greatest threat to human survival is pollution and global warming. Where these are dynamics that threaten our quality of life, they are also by-products of an even greater danger. The single most paramount menace that threatens human survival is the deforestation of tropical rain forests by the hands of man in the name of progress. The only way to remedy this ominous hazard is to get people to view tropical rain forests as more than mere varieties of vegetation and wild animals. The key to solidifying the necessity of tropical rain forests lies deep within the intricate layers of biodiversity that culminates into life sustaining resources for human life.…
