- This was the first project in my sculpture class, senior year of high school. The premise of this project was to create an animal that you had to be able to wear on your head. I chose an elephant because I thought the shapes would be easier to use. I used a lot of geometric shapes, mostly a hexagon. I used cardboard and masking tape to keep it together. I used strips of cardboard to put at the end of the trunk to replicate water. Unfortunately, I couldn’t keep the elephant because it wasn’t very sturdy, and even before the picture was taken, the trunk was falling apart.
