Project 1: part 1

Alice said keep it simple. My brain went from all sorts of ideas, but ended up thinking about the Sydney Opera House. The shapes reminded me of a shark's dorsal fin. That is where the idea for my project was born.
I started sculpting dorsal fins out of clay and soon added shark teeth as well. I came up with the idea to create a large dorsal fin out of collaged smaller fins with a few rows of shark teeth in front of the fin.
This idea was then given a different take: Kaitlin said she thought I had the idea to create a shark mouth on the floor in the corner and create the illusion of a shark's open jaws. (Shoutout to Kaitlin for that awesome suggestion!!) That isn't what I had in mind originally, but I liked her idea so I ran with it.  

Original sketches. You can see my original idea with the giant dorsal fin, and then my further developed idea with the open jaws.

Clay models before making the mold.
