‘Animals’ take over junior college’s courtyard
• IT’S a jungle in here — students of National Junior College found that a small herd of "animals" had taken over their courtyard yesterday morning.
Giraffes, elephants, penguins, camels, a bird and a hippopotamus made of discarded tables and chairs, raffia, plastic and newspaper, staked out positions on the wet grass.
They were part of an Earth Day project by the school’s art club and art students to show what would happen to the animals’ environment if people did
not conserve resources and recycle, said Liong Huai Yu, vice-president of the club.
A grid of old T-shirts, symboilsing Man’s invasion of the environment, was laid out and it was expanded at hourly intervals, finally trapping the "animals" in the centre of the courtyard.
Eventually, a plastic sheet with a man’s head was placed over the animals to show that they had been engulfed by human beings.
