I told you I'd take photos of all the animal-head sculptures that live in the library display cabinets. These are projects that students made in an art class many years ago -- before I got my current job in 2013. So I've been staring at these critters (and they've been staring at me) the whole time I've worked at the school.
Now the current librarian is talking about swapping the artworks out for something new. If the animals do get removed, they will apparently go live in the art building.
Excuse the dusty shelves. No one ever cleans inside these cabinets! I love the platypus on the right.
I think that lizard, or sea creature, or whatever it is, is from a different art project.
The one at bottom right is a boar -- sorry the light is right in its face. The one next to it is a walrus. All these heads are made of clay and they're quite heavy.
A pretty good assortment of creatures! Some are better than others but I do enjoy them all, so it's nice to have a record of them now.
I'm afraid most of them could go in my opinion. I really like the rabbit.
ReplyDeleteThey may not be beautiful but I quite like them. Well done to the kids that made them. A much better effort than anything I could have done.
ReplyDeleteGood creativity..have them retired, yes, but replaced my more current work
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame they're getting rid of them, but at least they're not being thrown away! It’s cool how you’ve grown so used to seeing them over the years that they've just become a part of your daily scenery. I can see why you'd be attached to them, dusty or not. The platypus is definitely a standout.
ReplyDeleteJust posted something new on my blog. Feel free to check it out at www.melodyjacob.com
Some really good work there, and a fun display. I hope they all get good treatment in the art department. And I hope the new librarian comes up with something equally fun and energizing.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful. I love the eyes - such friendly expressions, mostly.
