22. Bag-for-Life:
A ‘Bag-for-Life’ is a reusable shopping bag. It can be made out of
fabric or very strong plastic. Some shops have tried to limit plastic
pollution by introducing a ‘Bag-for-Life’.
I think that a ‘Bag-for-Life’ is good for your pocket because if
everyone used a ‘Bag-for-Life’ it could save us all about £470 a year.
These ‘Bag-for-Life’ designs have slogans on them that encourage
people to use the bag. A slogan is a catchphrase that is easy
to remember.
I like this design because of the lettering.
I like the slogan and the different colours that make it eye-catching.
I like this design because it is colourful although it is not clear that it is a Bag-for-Life.

23. Hundertwasser: Hundertwasser was born in 1928 and died in 2000.
He was a Jewish Austrian painter and architect.
His work was semi-abstract.
Abstract art is not meant to represent a real object.
Semi-abstract is when some parts to a painting represent
a real object.
Hundertwasser’s was inspired by nature.
He used bright colours and he used black to make the
colours look brighter.
He did not use straight lines.
He was fascinated by spirals, and called straight lines
"the devil's tools".
He has used contour lines to and to outline shapes to create movement.
He painted landscapes with
strange trees, buildings and faces in them.

24. Plastic :
Plastic is a man-made material. It does not grow naturally in the environment.
Early types of plastics were made from natural materials eg. Egg and blood and rubber.
Modern plastic is made from waste chemicals left over from the oil industry.
Scientists discovered that they could make plastic by mixing these chemicals together.
This makes it very cheap and easy to produce.
In 1933 polythene was discovered. It is used for plastic bags.
In 1954 polystyrene was discovered.
It is used in building materials, for packaging and in cups.
In 1954 polypropylene was discovered.
It is a hard plastic and can be moulded into different shapes such as toothbrushes, pens, chairs and hairbrushes.
It can even be used to make fake hair and fur.
Plastic is useful because it can be used to make lots of different things we need such as lenses for glasses, syringes, shoes and mobile phone parts.
