Day 36: T-Rex Model

Day 36:

A sculpture of the T-Rex skeleton from the Museum of Natural History. It’s been my favorite thing about NYC ever since I was a child and it always  will be.

I used paper clay, and the base is made out of the museum’s pamphlets. If you see it in person you can see the floor plan and everything.

We were supposed to ONLY use paper for this project, but once it was over I just painted the base. You can still see the floor plan, but now the dinosaur and the base are clearly distinguishable. 

I would’ve posted this sooner but when the project was over, before painting the base, I tore off like half the paper clay from his ribs and his entire right (our left) foot. I wasn’t going to post him until he was finished, and now he is!

Anyways, I worked hard on this. I hope you guys like it!

Day 35: Central Park

Day 35:

For this project everyone in my class was assigned to represent a section of NYC and we had to work within the actual shape of the area. Then each piece was judged individually and put down so that all the pieces  came together, like a puzzle.

Photos really don’t do the way it came out justice, it really did come out pretty amazingly.

My section was Central Park. I chose to sort of go for  a summertime vibe/ecosystem type of piece. I made all the critters out of Super Sculpey, and the land mass out of foam, paper pulp, plaster and moss. The fish are actual fish that you can find in the bodies of water in the Park (they’re a giant Koi, a Large Mouthed Bass, a Yellow Perch and the turtle is one of the giant snapping turtles found in the park. 

The reason there’s a Polar Bear is because the main attraction in the Central Park Zoo is Gus the Polar Bear annd as for why there’s a Bunny with Easter Eggs: It’s because even though the rabbit population of the park has pretty much disappeared, every Easter there’s supposedly an explosion of Bunnies in the Park because of people who buy them for their kids without realizing that rabbits actually take work to care for, and then release them in the park.

Hope you guys like the way it came out!

Also, I need to get better at photographing my paintings...

Day 32:
