This piece was made to redefine the 2 difference of culture and making into one. The form of the animal and how the Aztec come seeing the Cerberus and made this as a home land piece. I chose to mix 2 artiest culture but I wanted to have a lot of movement, feeling texture into the work. I use had to think a lot toward this piece because throughout this was my first time making something like this. The Aztec/Greek Mythology gave an ideal for form something a cave that look like something they made together. That give the viewer to look around the piece and to think about the outside white color and the movement and texture inside and out.

Process
Notes----
Xolotl, the Twin, the Shapeshifter, Venus as the Evening Star, the Lord of the West, Double of Quetzalcoatl. Xolotl accompanied Quetzalcoatl to Mictlan, the land of the death or underworld.(1l The Aztecs had a complex relationship with man’s best friend: dogs were companions, useful protectors of towns and agriculture, and food. It’s important to understand that the Aztecs did not sit down on a nightly basis and eat the family dog, and we don’t want to get lost in that particular aspect of the Aztec-canine relationship. One InspirationMy Inspiration is a Greek mythology- Cerberus because I liked that I was something weird and it know by the Greeks as these (3 Cerberus was a three-headed dog that guarded the entrance of the Underworld, allowing the dead to enter but letting none out. He was the son of Typhon and Echidna. Apart from his three heads, he also had a serpent's tail, a mane of snakes and the claws of a lion.) That they are mean't to be these big animal that thing they are kill but want I want to show them that they are kind loving animal in my eyes and they are like human. I choose this because of the way that it was different and wearied looking that gave me much ideal to make this work happen. It gave gave feeling that a body of an animal has a lot of move in there body and have much deal to it, but I got into more how the face will look like. The other thing what would the inside of the making will be hard to hollow out. I had no ideal how he but his work together or how I will use my dogs face will be together. My life-style also mixing up the away he put the work but now it going to be in the hair and show that it ways in the body will be and can feel it real life. I need to see how can I do this how and look at more of how the Greek animal. The Greek myth inspired me on my “Aztgre” inspiration of the human love and animal are the same. To mix up the two to mix up what I can do to show "Aztgre" because the Greek was hear first in the world and need to me show again how much they had to change for the new people in their time. The pieces “Aztgre” is a system that respect and how they made the world in the pass and then we’ll never be forge ten in the world that we live in. That show the the evil animal is someone that will not let people pass
Two InspirationMy Inspiration is a the symbols of aztce. The symbolism was a part of every day life for the people of central Mexico. That show whom they were and what they are mean't for. This hear is a picture of the XolotI (4 The Xolotl get the body from the people that are die over the year and bring them back to life. The dog- like deity, often depicted with ragged ears. That the Xolotl is identified with the sickness and physical deformity. That is double of the Quetzalcoatl.) The (5 Symbols were used in writing, in keeping time and dates, in names and titles, on buildings and in artwork, and even in clothing. It identified and explained the gods, showed social level, and foretold good and bad fortune.) The aztec symbols inspired me on my “Aztgre” inspiration of the human love and animal are the same. To mix up the two to mix up what I can do to show "Aztgre" because the Greek with the symbols was hear first in the world and need to me show again how much they had to change for the new people in their time. The pieces “Aztgre” is a system that respect and how they made the world in the pass and then we’ll never be forge ten in the world that we live in. That show the the evil animal is someone that will not let people pass. So I want to mix thing up with it with Aztec culture with to give the mixture with 2 different culture and make it as one

I wanted to mix the Aztec with the Greek culture because my family is from mexico and then I was born in the Unite State. So I want to see what happen if the Aztec come to America and see what the Greek did. The (3 Cerberus was a three-headed dog that guarded the entrance of the Underworld, allowing the dead to enter but letting none out. He was the so of Typhon and Echidna. Apart from his three heads, he also had a serpent's tail, a mane of snakes and the claws of a lion.) and then the Xolotl (2 Aztec sun-god or god of misfortune. A dog-headed god of the underworld. Twin brother of Quetzalcoatl. He took the form of a dog in some aspects and his feet were said to point towards the rear. In his role as lord of the evening star he caused the sun to sink each night. He descended into the underworld and brought out bones from which mankind was created.) So I try to make some idea, sketch and other thing for the artwork.
When I was making the head I need to have hold in the nose and hallow because to let the hot air to come outwith a problem. I add and add some form to the ear to give out describe and evaluate of the work that I made. They the time it took on the work .But in the end of the work come out great with the for, and the movement and the balance for the feather with the shape It gave life to the work, but after when I thought waiting for it to dry was completed and ready to be post on the weebly, I got a close look at the Sketch with a lot of mixture with all the sketches and I ending up not liking it. How it looks, how the mask pop out and the feather turn out I was happy. So I end it come out so cool that I keep it how it was without changing nothing in the end. Well maybe I’ll change it if I don’t like it. When I design my sketch I was planning to do make something out of life and make it different from the others. But it was still too hard for me to do because when I see an inspiration, I lose interest in the end. I liked my Sketch, I don’t know what to do then I was thinking and thinking what should I do for my Ephemeral. That this project was something different that I have ever did in my life and I know when I do a other work now i know that I can go beyond my skill to make something that is like me and the nature. That give life of "Forest of Birth" to show feeling of home Cite(1) Rigaud, Sylvain." Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2013. doi:10.4202/app.2012.0056.
