Breadth: Nature Bird

For one of our breadth pieces, we did nature artwork.  I thought it would be neat to make a bird of of nature.  I formed a bird out of clay, and used it as a model to form this bird out of wood chips.  I collected cups of wood chips and picked out which ones would be useful for the body form.  As I was adding wood chips to form the wings, I realized it needed a more feathery texture.  I used helicopter leaves for the wings, and twigs for the feet.  I enjoyed this project because I got to use a different material besides clay.
