Philippe Cousteau - An Arctic Discovery

                                                   Environmentalists

Ocean biologist Jacque Cousteau (1910-1997) was an inspiration when I was growing up and also for many people interested in ocean environmental and conservation issues.

Recently Jaques Cousteau’s grandson has been part of a series of documentaries highlighting environmental and conservation issues of our planets oceans, he specializes in oceanography which is looking into scientific aspects of our oceans to better understand what is happening due to pollution and global warming issues.
The sketch books to the left and below show some pencil drawing illustrations I would like to create some wall papers and fabric with either one shell drawing repeated with marl effect
warn out blistered dried out backgrounds to add a tactile approach to create a relaxed vintage feel to my design work. I would also like to create some seaweed and coral repeat surface pattern using one colour or two that are tonal. Black backgrounds and silver ,gold and bronze would add opulence and romance to surface design.

He has recently also highlighted concerns in regard to melting ice gaps in Antarctica and has explained present forecasts are not accurate. The environmental issue is far greater in terms of climate change and biodiversity within our oceans

Oceans and sea creatures have been depicted within art and design since ancient Greeks and Romans and other ancient cultures, tribes and religions. I have chosen to use oceans, wildlife, natural flora, nautical imagery as my focus in order to improve knowledge of conservation and marine ecology of our oceans.

Oceans are the colour blue. Colour  theory is a method of inquiring what effects can a colour have on human behavior.

History of Oceans

    Cultures are developed against our oceans around the world. Romans are one of the earliest super powers who used the sea to transport goods around their empire. Researching ancient cultures gives us insight into how history has developed so that we can understand how our cultures across the globe functions previously so that we can create links to modern day society. It shows us how previous trading links, linking continents developed. Looking at sea levels at different historical eras can give us important information in regard to when sea levels dropped which in turn created an environment for humans to travel across continents.
