Penguin  

November 1st 2023 

Mixed media 

Veronica Phillips 

Penguins are endangered because of overfishing, loss of habitat, pollution, and climate change. These dangers have made it very hard for penguins to live and have made their population go down drastically. My project was made with paper mache, acrylic paint, cardboard, and tinfoil.  

The metaphor behind this artwork would be the piñata, this is because when a pinata gets broken or ripped down you would not be able to fix it and once penguins go extinct it will be the end of the era for them and they won’t be able to be placed back together.
