My group and i have a common fascination with the unknown, and mysterious creatures that Urban legends. we came with the idea of a man that has gone through some kind of accident and he came out looking like a mix of a fish, frog, and octopus. I'm not quit sue who came with the idea but as a group we worked together to form the story, the story started to flow quit smooth after a while. so for our project we are creating one. a creature that was once a man and now comes out of puddles when it rains, he is a mix between fish and frog and octopus. he is a strange looking creature but we want him to look odd so the viewer can wonder. this week we have worked on the armature of the sculpture, his skeleton. Kassa and I have worked with wood together many time, building in barns so we work well together and we have made great progress in this creature's body. we had many trial and error stages, and we are learning from these things. with the adding then removing of nails and wood parts it gets a little aggravating but we worked through it. we have learned a lot with how wood works in sculpture opposed to building a chicken coop. as a group we worked a lot with chicken wire, something i have never used to sculpt with before, its an interesting material and it did hurt at times but it does describe the form well, with the many fins and testicles we have made with this material we have grown to love the end results, so we can live with a few jabs and stabs from the chicken wire, if thats what it takes. i think my group and i learned a lot from this week, not only from the materials but how we work together. I'm excited to see how we continue to make our creature.
