For assignment number four, we were to build a "body extension". This creation was to somehow engage the viewer and make it interactable.
I decided to create a giant mouth. The
original idea was for the mouth itself to pick up trash. Due to the weight and general construction of the mouth, it cannot physically pick up trash itself. Instead, the one wearing the mouth picks up the trash themselves. One uses the lever
below the bottom lip and pushes the lip upwards. This opens the mouth and allows for more room to fit in the trash without the teeth getting in the way.
I have never done this sort of project before and it was definitely a lot of fun and worth the time I put into the crafting the piece. After turning the project in, it is now a decoration for my wall. Success!
