Artwork
Reflection
For this week, I surrounded the body of the vulture with a supporting structure of cardboard (not pictured, I forgot) and then coated it in tissue paper with watered-down mod podge and gesso. The building process was similar to the American Kestrel but with the consideration of the vastly different size of the birds. In class, I discussed the plan to make two more sculptures, one of a Great Blue Heron and a Carolina Wren. With each bird, there will be an accompanying poster showing the "fun facts" about these birds. The posters would be different sizes to either correlate with the bird or be the opposite size. (Ex. A larger poster for the Kestrel and a smaller poster for the Vulture).
For the upcoming week I plan to have the structures of the birds completed as well as a layer of gesso and paper feathers.
