When I was developing my art skills and studying prerequisite courses in the first year of the college, I became more certain that making things by hands is my passion and forever enjoyable hobby because of the class named Space, Form, and Materials☺.
It is one of my favorite classes which teaches me about conceptualizing and creating three-dimensional designs to meet the task’s objective and also focuses on tools, materials, and craftsmanship. This lovely object has been done in this class, and the assignment is to transform any items which I choose the bucket.
I started with the brainstorm ideas for how to transform the item based on the methods and other materials. In this step, I did a research about “found objects and surreal objects” and came up with the idea of a hermit crab, then do more research.
The physiology of hermit crabs:
Cute little eyes
Two pairs of claws (big and small underneath the bigger )
Three pairs of legs
Hard opaque shells
It is sad, but nowadays a lot of poor hermit crabs use trash, such as broken glasses, light bulbs, and plastic bottles, for their home instead of natural shells. This can be adapted to be relevant with my project😢😅
During the process, it was fun to do experiment with many types of materials and see the result that might be successful or need alternative options. Especially, I was really happy because the final model was extremely cute♥!! even though its weight was quite...😁
Finally, to describe about my concept, it is combining nonfunctional garden tools, including the main item “ the bucket”, and turning them into the garden’s decoration, and it also creates a contrast between the living hermit crab in the ocean (water) and the surreal one decorates in the garden (grass).
Extra...once I went to the beach...so cute💜
