Using Art to Rebuild Coral Reefs

By Anonymous



The BVI Art Reef is a project that aims to use statues as a base to grow transplanted coral and regrow coral reefs. This statue is an 80-ft kraken attached to a WW2 ship. In 2017, the statue was sunk into the Caribbean sea and has since been used by scientists and students to study marine life.

    I really like the concept of using sculptures in reefs to not only grow transplanted coral but to bring attention to rebuilding the coral reefs.

    I think its really great that they are rebuilding the reefs! I find it very interesting that they found a way to incorporate the statue into their restoration efforts! Very outside of the box idea!

    This is a really cool idea to help coral reefs but to also to incorporate art. I can't wait to see the regrowth of the coral reefs with this new concept.

    It's super important to take of the Earth. So, incorporating art into might bring more action and attention to these issues. Plus it just looks cool! :)

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

IMPRESSED BUT YOU CAN DO MORE Apple......

FOR THE UNINFORMED: Mrs. Shields may kill me for how long this post to the blog is, but she can deal with it :P Alright... I just want to state that I love Apple to death and get that out of the way but I AM GOING TO RANT for a little. Apple introduced the new "iPad Air" to the world today, among other things. The starting price for a 16GB silver OR black iPad Air is $499, and if you want 8x the storage with the 128GB version, it'll set you back $799. To put that into perspective, if you were to buy a 2.3GHz Mac Mini that has a quad core Intel Core i7 (the fastest processor Intel makes, starting at the i3, i5, and then the i7), 4GB of DDR3 ram, and a 1TB hard drive, it'll set you back $799. So you can buy a pretty very good Mac computer (I have one at home but better haha) or a new iPad. Anyways....  The iPad Air weights only A pound (yes one pound), is only 7.5 millimeters thick (Apple advertises that by saying 7.5 millimeters THIN), has a 9.7...

Bye For Now DMA

      Well since I'm a senior, then this is probably going to be my last blog post. Next year, I am going to do the Digital Design program at the Warren County Career Center for college credit, so I'm still going to do some DMA stuff after graduation. It's been very cool to be making cool stuff here and I'll miss you guys and I know your going to miss me and my dog Max.
