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!
