Animal Assemblage

The setting of my assemblage sculpture is a hornet. I made my sculpture with newspaper, construction paper, wire and painter's tape. I chose to create this sculpture because I thought it would look very interesting once I hung it up. I made the sculpture by making an armature out of newspaper taped together with painter's tape. Then I covered the armature with yellow and black construction paper to make it look like a hornet. I revised my design when I got to the head. For the rest of the hornet I had cut the paper into triangles and layer them. I realized that this was going to be very difficult on the head because of the shape, so I cut it into rectangular strips instead of triangles. One thing I want to change about the sculpture is the eyes, I wish I had been able to use something other than paper, maybe metal.
