In this project I tried creating a giraffe/elephant. I started off making the elephant feet by using coils and designing the nails. It took me a very long time making the feet because I out in a lot of quality time into it. The next thing that I worked on was the giraffe's body. It was very hard making the body because I had to stuff the inside with newspaper so it wouldn't cave in. Making the giraffe's neck was going good until I had to re-attach my elephant feet and focus on that. This was also very hard because multiple feet came un-attached.
What were you thinking when yo u started working on your art?
The thing I was thinking about when I started my work was that this was going to be one of my best artworks. When I came back from Spring Break I was totally wrong. I was planning for it to actually look like a giraffe. I actually made the feet look like an elephant's but I know I worked hard and put effort into and I was satisfied.
Is the end result what you expected? Why or why not?
The end result was not what I was expecting. I expected it to be finished and perfected. I honestly thought that it would be done. I should of just did all of my elephant by using coils. The foundation of the feet is what really made everything wrong. I really wish the body of the giraffe actually did look like a giraffe's body. The body really looked like the shape of a duck's body.
The result of my project just pushes me to do better and plan out before I actually start my artwork.
