A whale of a time



Hey everybody!!

So this semester I am taking a class called problem solving. I basically make coverings/wearable art out of different materials!! My first project was to be inspired by an animal! I choose the sperm whale for its blubbery, bubbly cracked skin!! I manipulated paper with recycling bottle caps to create the top half. The bottom is shower caps sponge painted to look like the whale under the ocean. The hood is to represent his huge head, made out of painted bubble wrap. The arms are tights that have spoons to look like the teeth when my model puts her arms together. It definitely makes more sense once I explain it..haha.
