Final Project Artwork





Since today is Earth Day and recycling is now a must, this strange work of art made by used cardboard caught my attention. At first glance, I saw the resemblance to a guitar but if I was very close to the artwork, I probably would have had to step back and see it. The guitar is made from all cardboard and put together by wires and strings. With all the pieces put together, you definitely see the shape of the guitar. There is a slight chaotic rhythm to it as it is both abstract and naturalistic. The sculpture clearly is a representation of a guitar. There are straight lines and curvilinear lines, sharp edges and smooth edges. There is a sense of asymmetrical features but it does look balanced. There are strange cut outs on the body of the guitar that shifts the weight to the right. The sculpture has great use of shadows as it makes it come alive and a good use of space.


What I wonder is if this is put on a wall or laid next to the ground? Can you guys guess who made this guitar?
