Do you see that Giraffe or is it just me?

This was one of the most stressful and expensive projects that I've ever done. We were assigned to make a wire sculpture out of chicken wire and form it into an animal. There was no size requirements (at least I don't think there was) so I decided to make this project a challenge, I was going to make a 8 foot tall Giraffe! This was also around the time when the Annual District Art Show was coming up so I had to get this done in a few weeks. When it came to critique time I only had the skeleton part done because I decided I wanted to paper mache and spray paint it for the art show. Which was in less than a week, but you know what they say if you can put your mind to it you can achieve anything!

It even made the front page of the city newspaper!

Problem: Create an animal wire sculpture using chicken wire and paint it.

Solution: 8 foot tall Giraffe that was covered in paper mache and spray painted.
