Cut out of Black paper. I finished the structure of my sculpted cat, and decided it was a failed experiment. I had fun and learned from making it, but I still wanted to show something I was more proud of during critique. So, I decided to do something else I have been wanting to try for a while; cutting out a silhouette. This is the end result, I was pretty happy with it. In crit, Anthony said it was too decorative, and looked like something a mom would want in her kitchen. I agree... it did come out, overall, too "pretty." His other critique of this piece is that he didn't like my use of a cat to portray my word... he said that I was humanizing it and should have just done a human instead. This I don't really agree with... weather or not I am humanizing the cat, it is something we all do. It is an accepted humanization of the animal; I think everyone can agree cats are often pretty darn nonchalant. Since this is such an accepted attitude of the animal, I assume my viewer to understand this. Anyways... OVERALL, constructive crit, lots of mistakes and learning in my process, and a final piece I am happy with. As far as I am concerned, it was another good week.
