This is what I have for my sculpture after one week of working. My plan is to create a 3 dimensional bird, eventually made to hang on the wall, made out of wire. After The wire structure is complete, I plan to "hang" tissue paper and other collage materials off of the wire. Throughout, my play pages mainly feature birds and other flying creatures. They also are pretty much all collages. So far, I have planned, made a maquette, and made the first layer of the bird. I am pretty happy with what I have so far, however, its current state (as seen in the picture) isn't exactly and accurate representation. This next week I am going to pin down the layer I have, since, because it's made out of wire, it is not layer flat. Once it is put into place, the shape will look a little different, and more accurate to an actual bird. I am happy with my starting point so far.

Here is my final piece! I actually really liked how it turned out but it was definitely difficult to decide on the finishing touches. I decided that the line on the right had been to thick, so I used the technique I had used on the far left over there too to thin and soften things out. I really like how this turned out, I think it helped with the balance and cohesiveness, Next, I decided that I wanted to bring one of the background colors to the foreground. I also feel like this helped bring things together, added a nice pop, and broke the repetitive vertical pattern. You may also notice that since my last post, the painting has a different orientation. The horizontal orientation is how I had originally intended it to go and that's what the rest of the class seemed to like as well.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this project. I feel like I learned a lot about practice, decision making, and how to balance expression with deliberateness.
