Reflection
During the creation of this project, I decided to make the flying mobiles to be more 3D to make them be a life-size model of the birds. The first one (pictured above) is modeled after a female American Kestrel and is made of cardboard, blue tape, and a layer of gesso. I plan on painting the mobile to look as accurate as possible to the bird with the addition of feathers made of paper to create the realistic look. I am going to replace the sculpting wire that I used to connect the wings to the body with embroidery thread to allow it more mobility when it is "flying."
The class gave me several more ideas that could be possible for the final project such as a map of my home in Perry, FL that would include the animals and landscape I see on the daily. Another idea would be to create a landscape painting of my home with the inclusion of all the farm animals and wildlife. With these many ideas, I am excited to see the route I choose for this project.
