Assemblage Sculpture

PIG

Some ideas that are visually evident in my work are that I wanted it to be cute and fun to make which is why I chose a pig as my animal to do the sculpture of. I chose to use different shades of pink all over my pig to make it more colorful. This project relates to my life because pigs are one of my favorite animals. And this was just a fun project to do.

My work was made with an ice tea can, acrylic paint, hot glue gun, scissors, craft paper, paintbrushes, bottle cap, beads, and pipe cleaners. I used the acrylic paint to make anything that wasn’t already pink and I used black paint for the dots on the bottle cap nose.

I started by painting everything that wasn’t pink and then I let it dry. While the paint was drying I cut the ears out of pink craft paper and then glued everything together. My project evolved as I painted everything and stated gluing the details on the painted ice tea can. Once everything was glued together it looked really pink and like a pig. My next steps could have been to add more detail.
