Wire Sculpture

This is my circus lion. He is about to pounce. I made this lion by using only my right hand and my teeth. The reason why I did this was to simulate not having a limb. To be honest it was one of the hardest things I've ever done in school. I was so frustrated with myself and the wire. Everything took much longer than I wanted it to and I ended up not putting some things I had originally planned. Taking that much longer would have made me go crazy. From this exercise I realized that some of my students are going to need more time to complete things and they might still not be able to finish. They might have to simplify things. It also helped me see how some things are going to make my students very frustrated and they might really dislike an assignment just because it's hard. Overall, it was a good experience.
