From the group: Sam, Arlene, Andy-Jean, Angie, Charles:
Upon observing the concrete arches with their flowing curves, our imaginations began to conjure up images of water and movement. By using a creature that is said to always be seen in motion, we were able to portray movement which we first saw in our object. The location of the arches closely resembled the surroundings and mystique of the Scottish legend. We decided to depict the Loch Ness Monster emerging from the water to show the motion and the curves of the arches. We took advantage of the existing arches and made them the creature’s back. By dividing the space between the flowing free shape of the arches and the rigid vertical columns that uphold and imprison them, we uprooted the figure and gave life to an otherwise stationary object. We used water to change the stiff unmoving columns into something free and flowing. To pay tribute to the legend’s origins and to add a hint of fantasy, we constructed the traditional beret and sash out of a plaid fabric similar to the tartans of Scotland. We are able to capture the grace and finesse of Nessy as she glides from the past onto our campus.

i thought that this project ended up really neat. i really enjoy the fact that it was put on top of an already in place object to create something completely different. and the little beret and scarf add something completely relevent but unexpected to it.
and it kind of looks like the basalisk from harry potter...
I enjoyed doing my first project with the group. It amazing to me how you can use cardboard, brown paper, duct tape, and spray paint and create something very different. Having one object that is stationary and grounded and turning it into a living object like the Loch Ness Monster. Awesome job team.
Thanks Sam, I also enjoyed this project very much! It was fun and I think everyone learned alot! Thank you to everyone on our team for your help. See you in class!
