2nd Yr Shoe Sculptures

The 2nd Yrs had to construct a shoe from cardboard and papier mâché based on the form of one of their own. High top runners were a popular choice, with stiletto heels and boots also among the mix. When the form of the shoe was constructed the decoration and finish of the shoe had to be inspired by the artwork of a famous artist.
