For my main relief piece I decided to use wire. While I was brainstorming on what to do before I came up with clay, paper and cardboard ideas but I didn't want to further my project in any of them so then I started to look for a new medium to use. I decided to use wire because it was different and I have never worked with it before so it was a challenge that I was willing to accept. I also decided that I wanted to do a wire elephant with a sort of sunset background. I used thick wire for the outline of the elephant and thin wire for the details. I think that the elephant itself turned out really well and so did the background. Next time I would probably shape the elephant better and attach it to a different type of backboard. I wanted to do this project because it was a challenge and it was cool to try and figure out how to bend and use the wire. My best friend inspired me to do this project because her new bedroom is themed this way and she loves elephants. Overall it was a great learning experience and it was fun to accomplish it!
