Classwork - Clay Models

For our first project i decided to create a sea anemone. I made it along with a crab, and a sea-star. All of the sea creatures are smoking, because sea creatures get bored just like you and me. Ignoring the realism of being able to smoke underwater, or being able to smoke with gills for that matter, I enjoy the idea of animals with human attributes. Not so much personality traits, like "oh this giraffe is really jealous." No, it's not. It's a giraffe. But i like animals that do human things, like smoke.

I am not very good at sculpting. The sea anemones turned out okay, better than I expected, but the crab. The crab was just awful. He's got fat legs, he barely has a face, and his cigar so so big to begin with that it made him fall over. Luckily i went with the sea anemone for the paper maché portion of the project. Which admittedly has not turned out as well as i would have liked. But colored paint should be able to fix that.
