Project #4

• The Basic Idea of this piece is of coarse a ram skull, but I intended for the viewer to focus on, and and almost the power of the horns.
• The horns are the rams main defense, so I tried to portray the fierceness of the rams horns through giving them texture that portrays that. The desighn decisions that I made were to glue pieces of pine cone to give the horns an intimidating feel. I also didn't put much texture or design in the rest of the skull in order to have the focus point be on the horns. I definintly put the most time into the horns, and it shows.
• Through making this piece I learned not to underestimate the time it will take to hot glue hundreds of pieces of pine cone to a horn. I also learned that if i do something, like leave hot glue strands, that i need to do it all the way or not leave any at all.
• If I could do anything better I would leave more hot glue strands, to add a sense of cobwebs and age.
