cupcake wars: the bp oil spill

For our project we chose to do the BP oil spill. This was the largest oil spill in American history. To portray this we chose to make our project out of three records and three plastic wine glasses. All of our materials were recycled. We glued it together and made three tiers. We painted the tiers blue.The top was light blue and we shaded each level under it. We put hot glue on the wine glasses and we painted it black to make it appear like oil. On the top  tier we added a beach by making half the record sandy. On the very bottom we  glued cut up water bottles that were painted black. This helped portray the theme of oil dripping down. When we added our cupcakes, the project became unified. The cupcakes were different shades of blue depending on the layer it was on. The top layer cupcakes had brown sugar and black icing on them. This was supposed to portray sand. The rest of the layers just had gummy sea animals with oil. Everything was edible. 


Arty on!
