Transforming 2D Images from Art History into 3D Arts

  The first artist i that came to my mind was Salvador Dali, the bizarre and supernatural quality of his subjects have a great potential to be transformed into 3D sculptures.
  One of Dali's signature is the elongated legs of animals such as horse and elephants.Some of them even have houses put over their back. I can apply the thick and thin contrast on my sculpture. The second image has those female figures with drawers extending from their chest and bellies. I think Jean has done it with tape already, so i might use cardboard or plaster to do it.

  The third image of book pages evolving to a butterfly's wing and then to a mother holding her baby. The layers of the book showed repetition and the whole painting was balanced with respect to the middle line. 

  Melting clock could be done by clay, but instead of painting the textures, i will cut card boards  into the shapes and hang them with kite strings.

  The right figure is a combination of eye, wood, and a pair of  muscular but thin legs. I can find a wood block, and build two legs with clay, but i'll probably change the eye to a nose or a mouth.

  The subject has very strong features, but the thing that is catching my attention is the way the face "stands" in the landscape - it is supported by few thin and unstable sticks. I can carve the face from plaster, well, with different kinds of features, and then use the same technique and stand the sculpture up with some seemingly weak stands.
