These pieces of art were created with extremely unorthodox methods and still managed to maintain the label “art.”
7.Sandcastler’s Mordor
7.Sandcastler’s Mordor
This sandcastle was created in a contest for sandcastles in 2007 and won the People’s Choice Award for it. At a staggering nine and a half feet tall, it really is huge, and makes us wonder – what, really, is the point of winning a sandcastling competition? Are there mermaid babes to be had?
6.Play-Doh Bunnies
These bunnies, pictured above, are all made of Play-Doh. Surprisingly, this exhibit took place all around New York , with bunnies large and small getting in people’s way as they tried to get to work in the morning.
5.Crayon Bees
While it looks like a crappy pixelized version of a honeycomb, this is in fact a representation of a photo created with crayons. But, unlike most third grade crayon pictures, this one wasn’t drawn with crayons but was made with crayons. Yes – those “pixels” in the image are actually crayon tips. Considering we never managed to keep ours in working order for more than a week, this is a pretty impressive accomplishment.
4.Etch-A-Sketch Mona Lisa
Doing complex, and often famous, paintings on an Etch-A-Sketch is a hobby of many. However, it is only a select few who can actually do it right (hell, our best Etch-A-Sketch artist can’t even draw a proper square). But this person decided that they would draw a completely accurate copy of the Mona Lisa… on an Etch-A-Sketch. Upon completion, only one photo was taken before the artist’s older brother promptly ran up and shook it as hard as he could. He was reportedly called “a gaywad”.
3.Lite Brite Tapestry
The above image is a reproduction of a 15th century tapestry. But this isn’t any reproduction. It looks a bit off because it is made out of Lite Brite. You know that toy that you would use seven pegs with to create a smiley face and then show your mom? This guy used Lite Brite to reproduce it. It couldn’t be any more vintage unless the Fonz was somehow involved.
2.Graphite Sculptures
You know graphite as the stuff that comes out of your pencil when you sharpen it. This guy decided that he would make sculptures out of it. And he did not just get a lot of graphite and carve them normally. He took a chisel and carved the tip of a pencil to make the sculpture. His entire line of amazing pieces have toured museums at only the cost of his eyesight and sanity.
1.Lego “Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima”
We have all seen the picture from WW2. It’s fake. But that doesn’t mean that a couple of guys did not raise a flag on Iwo Jima. This “brick artist” created a replica of the event. The sculpture was so incredible that it is being featured at the National Museum of the Marine Corps. We expect to see a Mega Block recreation of the Times Square kiss within the year.
