Investigation:

What animal have I choose? Why did I choose this animal?

I chose the fish name Ribbon Sweetlip. I chose this fish because it is hard to draw a straight line (color yellow and black) and it is challenging me to done in very nice and neat. And also I like Ribbon Sweetlip’s name, shape, and the color.

The basic information about Ribbon Sweetlip

Common Name: Ribbon Sweetlip

Maximum Lenght: 40 cm

Facts:

1. Ribbon Sweetlip fish lives in Deep Reef place

2. As Jureniles, there fish are black and yellow striped

3.  Over times, they will develop into brown and white striped adults

Planning:

How do I intend to make this sculpure? (Procedure)

1. Draw a plan of your animal (be detail!) and bring material to prepare for the next class time
2. Make the amature!! Stick the material together with tape (don’t waste a lot, use a little is good for the environment!!)
3. Ready for sticking the Newspaper (Recycle) to the amateur that we made (procedure number 2) There is a picture on the last so don’t miss it!!
4. Continue (procedure) number 3 and dry…
5. Start paper-mache…
6. Continue…. (paper-mache)
7. Finish paper-mache and start painting
8. Continue to finish painting

FINISH!!

So basically, it will take around 2 months to finish!

What materials will I need?

• Reuse Newspaper

• Water bottol (600mL)

• 1 plastic plate

• Tape

• Acrylic Paint

• Reuse Hook

What difficulties do you think you will have? What challenges are you hoping to overcome?

In this unit, my challenging things that will happen in the future is the paper-mache , because I never did the paper-mache in my life! And I even don’t know how to start! But I think I will ask my teacher Mr. Pat or my friends for some help! And also the challenging thing is that maybe I have not much time to finish my amateur. So to solve this problem, I really need to be Time-management all the time when I do my art work, because I had an experience that I did my work good but then there is no more time so I rush and finish my work but the problem is it ugly and messy. It is way different then the first one and the work that I done!

SORRY!! IT IS UPSIDE DOWN!!
