Final Product My art is a praying mantis made out of green metal wires. It is standing on a box painted bronze, going with the theme of it being metallic. I created the art by manipulating wires with my hands and pliers to shape the different parts and twist them around each other to connect them. I then took a small box, mod podged it with paper and mod podge glue in order to give it a texture. Finally, I painted the box bronze and glued the mantis's feet to the box. The lines on the mantis's wings and the linear details on its body inspired me to use the thin material and emphasize the line element. My goal for this artwork was to emphasize the line element of the source material using materials that reflected the element. I like how my final product turned out and I think it succeeds at emphasizing lines.

InspirationsInspirations from yian kut-ku and konchu from Monster Hunter and the cocoa puffs mascot bird. Final ProductFor my Artists steal project, I remixed the Cocoa Puffs cereal box art with a chicken-like wyvern from Monster Hunter. The piece is based on the pun of the monster's name (yian kut-ku) where kut-ku sounds similar to cocoa, and that in Monster Hunter, kut-ku eat pillbug-like creatures called konchu that roll into a ball. The name similarity, the fact that they eat round things, and the fact that the kut-ku is similar to a bird all make a clever parallel to Cocoa Puffs where the bird mascot, Sunny, eats round cereal. I drew the draft on a blank piece of computer paper, then used graphite to trace it onto a piece of watercolor paper and painted it using water color pencils and water. I had actually thought of this long before this unit and had made this using Photoshop with various images from the source material. Earlier version of "Kut-Ku Puffs" made in Photoshop
