London Elephant Parade 2010
“Big Heart Open Mind” by: Julia Rogers
Green Park
All around London you can see these beautiful displays of creative art. London’s Elephant Parade is a conservation campaign that is raising money and support for the crisis being faced with the endangered Asian Elephant. These remarkable displays of creativity have enhanced the environment in areas throughout the city. There are 250 elephants total. You can find them in bunches in different parks, or you can find them individually sitting on the sidewalk in front of a building. Each elephant is auctioned off and the bids are used for the cause.
This elephant caught my eye when I was walking through Green Park. It’s bright colors and unusual pattern are what first attracted me to it. It looks like at first the elephant was just painted with black and white stripes. Then the artist finds a way to transform a dull, boring pattern into something abstract and bright. This happy, fun, and bright elephant could put anybody in a better mood and add amazing amounts of joy to everyone in the environment surrounding it.
