FLYING TURTLE // JEAN L // FORM AND SPACE


This is a really cool sculpture I came across when I was at the beach taking photos for Image Manipulation class. I’ll be surprised if I hear no one has ever posted a picture of this for form and space. This turtle is awesome. Too funny. It just sits about seven and a half feet on top of a concrete pole on the sidewalk near the beach just before you get close to the pier. The colors are so vibrant that it’s almost impossible to miss. I was wondering why it was there. I’ve never seen any turtles in Clearwater, especially on the beach. But maybe I’m just not there enough. The sculpture is very round like a turtle. Which is great. The way that it’s standing with its hand out makes it look even more animated. Definitely the best turtle sculpture I’ve never seen which is weird because I’ve been to a lot of theme parks in the past. I think whoever decided to make that sculpture and put it by the beach should make more, of different animals. Not too many, but maybe like two or three.
