Project 3


     The sculpture is of the Ohio Stadium with a giant fan pointing, and sitting in the middle of the stadium. The Stadium has a giant fan sitting inside to represent the fans that support the football team every home game. The hundred thousand plus screaming fans fill the stands Ohio Stadium to cheer on the buckeyes. The fans dress in Buckeye gear all in support.
     The giant fan represents the giant influence that crowd has in the game. The crowd gets involved on chats, school songs, and much needed noise for opponents third downs. The crowd plays a very important role in the game.  I chose this location because it is a very noticeable landmark on Campus. The stadium is big, so the influence of the fans had to be big as well. I also the Ohio stadium as a tribute to the fans that show support to all the teams of the university. The materials that I used for this piece were bricks, and clay. This helped with the shaping, and the making of the very large sculpture. The brick was used as a base to the the sculpture. The inside of the piece consist of brick, lumber, and clay. The outside of the piece was shaped with clay. The piece was sculpted under tarp, then uncovered to dry. The fans who come to visit the piece can come and take picture of the giant sculpture. The fans can also enter the stadium to view the enter workings.
