The last few weeks we have been working on cubist animal sculptures in art. The hardest part was probably making them look cubist while also making them recognizable as a animal. For my project I decided to make a wolf. I cut the pieces from card board and hot glued them together. I also burnt my fingers a lot, but it was fun anyway. One of the requirements for this project was a Moving part. That was my favorite. I made hinges out of paperclips for the jaw and the fur on the wolf's back, and tied them together with a string on the inside of the sculpture. The string is attached to a paperclip on the wolf's back. When you pull it the wolf opens his mouth to howl and the fur on his back stands up. It looks awesome. So far I think this has been one of my favorite projects, though I am Excited about our next project. We're doing wood carving.
