When starting the project of making a turtle out of wire, I struggled with deciding where to begin. I chose the turtle because they have a simple shape, but yet could be still challenging to create with wire, to make this wire art. I decided that the best way to start would be to start at the base (oval shape) and create the feet. this way the structure of the turtle could build off of the feet, later adding the shell, head, and tail. I didn't choose the normal turtle colors, because I mixed it up with adding blue feet, and a yellow shell, This was it adds more to make an abstract turtle. With the help of watching tutorials, and watching other artists create similar art, creating other animals, I felt more comfortable creating the wire structure and the wire art.I feel like I accomplished my goal of making a turtle sculpture out of recycled wire. To create the shell, I weaved the aluminum wire back and forth from both ends of the shell, to create a base to wrap the yellow wire. To wrap the yellow wire I tried to weave it around the turtle shell in a circular motion. It was a struggle to know where to start out the project, and where to wrap, bend, and shape the wire to create the turtle shape. Overall I really enjoyed creating this sculpture.

AuthorLet's get something straight, I am no professional artist but here I am, trying my best at making art. Ever since I was little I liked to work with my hands and making things. Even though I am not an artist, doesn't mean I am not trying my best at everything that I'm making in this Art Design Studio Class. Archives
