Finally, after a few weeks of working on my shoe project, it is completed. This was probably one of the hardest art projects I have ever worked on. The weak points and strong points of this project, stood the same as the last time i stated them. Cardboard was very hard to bend and glue in the proper spot. I spent the majority of the time building the full structure of the shoe, and a small amount of time on the details, such as the color and designs. One thing that worked well for me was the strap to my shoe with the velcro. It turned out just how I wanted it to.
Some of the other difficulties that i had not mentioned in my previous post were cutting out pieces of colored paper and matching them so they looked presentable and corresponded with the cardboard pieces because I had not made it up to this stage yet. There are many places on my sculpture where the pieces of colored paper did not match with the cardboard pieces and so it looks a little sloppy. I tried to fix them up by adding additional pieces or paper to clean it up a bit, which I think helped. It was truly difficult to cut out the center piece on the toe of the shoe. That piece was much harder than the other pieces because it bends two ways and it is a different type of piece.
I believe he structure of the shoe came out good, and the details were overall not too shabby, and I worked hard to make this look realistic. The picture of the shoe in my last post is very different from my final product. Overall, I enjoyed this project and I believe it was a good learning experience. This will definitely help me with my upcoming project.

Jake, the replica of your shoe is almost identical to the real shoe. You really tried to add in all of the details, such as the Velcro, and the metal things for the shoelaces on the side. I also like how you spent a lot of time perfecting the shape so that you could work off of that, and you can see that the shape is identical to the shape of the real shoe. The colors are really great too, the blue really points out the blue of the real shoe and the simple colors don’t make it look like you were trying too hard when you were creating the replica. The shoe is very proportionate to the real thing. Overall, your shoe looks really great. And I would have to say that my favorite part is definitely the big Nike symbol!!!
