Animal Sculpture

ARTIST STATEMENT

DESCRIBE

The subject of my creation is a manatee, and there is no setting. I made this sculpture using newspaper and tape for the armiture, and I hot glued paint chips to cover it and give it colour. I chose to create a manatee because manatees are cute.

ANALYZE

I did not use any specific techniques to create this sculpture. The project evolved when i was introduced to the idea of using paint chips for colour, so I evolved the project by switching over to paint chips completely.

INTERPRET

The meaning behind the artwork is to raise awareness for manatees, which are an endangered species. There isn't much of a story to this sculpture. This project relates to my life because I love manatees and I hope that one day they will be take off the endangered species list. I think that this sculpture could be better if I did a better job not showing any globs of hot glue in some spots.
