Description Song Response project. This is a man who has the determination to do something that nobody else would dare try, hence fly like a bird. The song this was based off was Pink Floyd's 'Learning to Fly.'
This is one of my best ceramic pieces. I couldn't take it away from school until I graduated since my instructor loved it so much she put it on display without my permission. Then again, I wanted people to see this.

that's a wonderful idea!
it's hard to find an art piece that fits a song that much

Thanks for the fav I didn't realize this works so well. When I first submitted this on here it went unnoticed, but now that I sent it to a group it's suddenly getting nonstop faves.

That is awesome! Wow! I love the concept. I love this song and this piece fits it so well. If I was your art teacher, I'd want to put this on display too, but I think I would have asked for your permission. How long did this take you? And do you mind if I recommend it as a submission to one of the Pink Floyd groups?

This took me about a month to work on, since the firing took a long time to do. Yeah you can add it, I should add it to another group too, now that you mention it...

It was definitely well worth the time, cause you did an amazing job on it.
You should, there certainly is enough Pink Floyd groups from which to choose from.

Along with my other old ceramic pieces. I can't link to the photo itself, but it'll give you an opportunity to find my other ceramics, one of them containing me at 18. Look for numbers 144, 145, 17, 170, 171, 39, and 77

That's one of the songs ever from pink-floyd..i took a discovery flight once in indiana, where they let you have the controls of a cessna for take off, flytrhough and landing and this song really embodies that feeling...your sculpture is pretty original and a fine tribute to that very feeling...like otto lilienthal and the wright brothers....kudos!
