I made a figure that resembles a human form, but has bird wings incorporated into the piece. This figure is a ceramic sculpture with a layer of acrylic base on top. I focused on form and proportion for this work, as there are elements of the human body, which need to be accurate in order to be realistic. In addition, I used color to help put emphasis of the purpose of this piece. The meaning behind this piece is that we are all connected to nature, and need to spend more time outside and off of our devices. Most people have become consumed by electronics and the world of the internet, but it is important to take time and appreciate the natural outdoors. I do enjoy this piece, as I am not very familiar with hand building, but this came out better than expected. Also, this piece has a strong message behind it, which I think makes it more meaningful and important.
