We have officially started our second and final sculpture project of the year, as well as our second home project. It's due three weeks from tomorrow, which means I have a lot of work to do, especially since it's supposed to be a found object project - lots of material hunting ahead in the next week.
Unfortunately, none of this hunting has happened yet. However, I needed to update the blog, so I had to come up with something. A few weeks back, I had made a brainstorming page for this project (included as part of my last sketchbook assignment), and back to that page I went. It wasn't particularly hard to choose an idea among the 5-6 ideas that already existed - I have been fascinated with weddings and marriage for a long time, and last year I even used weddings as the theme to my "Drawing-A-Day" sketchbook assignment. I put the idea of making a veil on the page perhaps thinking of my "Wedding-A-Day" pages from Art II, and looking back on that page made me more attached to the idea. The sketch and explanation for my veil idea are pictured above. Though found-object sculptures are technically supposed to be made from just that - found objects - I'm cutting corners a little, and plan on using the material from those fake Halloween spiderweb things - its strands seem to stick to everything, so it shouldn't be too much trouble to stick various acorns, pinecones, and leaves to the veil. Unfortunately, there's one major roadblock - April/May isn't exactly Halloween season. If stores don't carry that material around this time of year, I'll probably just buy lace from a crafts section if the lace I have at home isn't enough to finish it. I also plan on making a "flower" crown (will be attached to the veil) out of various leaves and pine needles I can find in what's left of the "wilderness" behind my house, as using lace/Halloween spiderweb stuff means I really can't buy any other material for the project or it's not really a found-object sculpture.
