Metamorphosis

Sculpture and Mixed Media B students created sketches of a "man made object" morphing into an "organic object."  They then had a mission to create two clay sculptures from their drawings.  One sculpture needed to be realistic, while the second was intended to be an abstraction based on the morphing of the two objects into a new form. The set was designed to be visually unified, while communicating a theme larger than the objects themselves.

  This series is about the inhumane treatment of animals in

the modern food production industry.  The pig was

titled, "What was," while the pig entangled in the

 fence was titled, "What is."

a great communication tool, but sometimes they can also

dehumanize and impersonalize our social interactions.
