NYC, Map, Pigeon

In art class we are doing a project with subway maps. We were aloud to choose what we wanted to make a long as it had to do with NYC. I choose to make a pigeon! I see them everyday and I thought that since they’re everywhere that would be a good choice. I started out by drawing the shape of the pigeon out on a piece of foam board three times. Then using an exact-o knife I cut them out. After that I glued them together to make the pigeon thicker. Then I cut the same shape out of the map and glued it on top. I got more foam board and cut out the wing and bend the tip so it would flap out. I used clear tape to holed the wing on. I put black paper on the wing and two stripes of map. Then I cut out the beak from orange paper and glued that on. With a little extra piece of map I cut out two strips and rolled them up and taped them. Then on one end of each I cut three little marks and pulled them down to make feet. I taped the legs to the bird. I’m not sure what else I’ll do! I might make more or have the bird flying but I’m open for idea’s!Screenshot 2016-05-10 at 8.55.14 AM Screenshot 2016-05-10 at 8.54.55 AM

Hi! My name is Ruby W. And I care about refugees because it is important that we help people even if they don't directly effect us. This subject is often overlooked. This is important especially now because of our current political climate.
