Land Art- Two Turtles

Alex and I created a land art piece depicting two different turtles. We used a water repellent spray to create the effect seen in the photo. 

Did you learn new techniques or processes as part of the work for this project?

In doing this project, I learned that there is a much wider variety of ways to create an art piece than I had imagined. The idea was Alex's, and I think that it looks so well  put together and well thought out. Did you gain skill with familiar materials? I both gained skill with familiar materials, and gained skill with completely unfamiliar                                                     materials. Cutting out the template required detail and precision, and in doing so I  gained skill in working with details.

Did you try something that you weren’t sure about as part of this project?

We were definitely initially unsure about using the water repellent spray in our piece. However, we were both really happy with the way it turned out. (We were also just surprised that it actually worked!)

Did you pick a material or technique that was new or different over something that was familiar?

We honestly did not expect the spray to be a success, and we considered multiple options. We could have simply used paint, but we instead chose to take a more risky route.
