The Turtle Project Continues

As the result of hard work in the second semester I've got the end projects of the classes.
The finished materials for the exhibition:















These compositions are ready to go for the display now, with all the former works: the mask, the print of sticks that shape a palm tree in my case and the clay made turtle.
I should say that the wire sculpture made me less difficulties than the card board, I could convey my ideas more clearly and the outline still imitates the animal in the most desirable way to me.
With the latter one I couldn't say it that was so easy but the result is here of long work and many gluing diffculties..:)

week12

The work is still continued on the turtles.
Finally I finished the wooden one, who got legs and the final shape. Now it can joint the exhibition with its final stage.
The paper-turle is almost already done, I use special fixing lines in it to back up its huge size.
The papers I put into it are functioning like ribbons and keep it on a fixed line not to get moved or damaged by the passé of time.
An other technique I used to fit the animal for the final look was curving and bending the joints and the head itself so doesn't look anymore like a qube, but the characsteristics of a turtle do determine the material;)
