Teddy Bear Project

I undertook a project in which i would take a cuddly toy and changed it to create various pieces of art work.

This is a photograph of the original teddy Bear i used.

I then drew the cuddly toy and drew it in pencil. i used softer pencils to create the shadows and darker areas then used harder pencil to create the more detailed sections like the fur.

i then took the teddy and dismantled it by unpicking all of the stitches that connected the teddy material together. this left me with lots of shapes that no longer resembled a teddy bear. i traced these shapes and put them on to card. i cut out these pieces and slotted them together to make a geometric sculpture.

many of these  hung in a circle created an installation. the idea of this was to hang the pieces around a light to create interesting shadows around the hanging piece which would add to the installation.
