Day Three: What's your Animal?

Late in the afternoon, while we watch our batiks in the wind, we talked about our visit to the stable and horses. Our discussion led to thinking about animal characteristics and what kind of animal could "live" within each of us. We went back into the artroom and got our hands messy (again). Using rock slabs (from the ongoing construction outside!) as a foundation, we used clay to build out animal faces. Our focus was on the the form and how the facial parts extend into space.

We will let the clay dry overnight and tomorrow we will cover with Papier-Mâché! Whew, a busy day indeed...
