This is a diorama that I created to represent the impact of global warming. The picture does not do it much justice but I feel the overall vision of it speaks for the issue. The shoebox is divided into two sections: sort of like a before and after, and then covered in plastic wrap to represent the ozone layer surrounding the Earth. The outside of the box is painted black to represent outer space - it's like we're looking from the outside in to see what's going on on Earth. The left side of the box has a huge iceberg made from cotton and water with grassy hills at its edge. The ozone layer on this side has no holes in it. The right side, however, has holes throughout the ozone layer. The water level has risen significantly covering part of the hills at its edge. The iceberg has melted and broken apart as well. I painted a styrofoam ball to represent the sun beaming down through the ozone layer, which is allowing more and more of its harmful rays to pass through. I feel this is an issue that everyone needs to be aware of and that's why I chose it for my diorama project.
