I started out thinking that I would take pieces of wood and cutting them into different shapes and sizes. I would then use watercolor to make designs and patterns. After I created a color scheme I would form a pattern and glue them together making an abstract design. I got that idea from solving the art puzzle link on the slides provided. I realized I did not have enough pieces of wood to create a collage. I brainstormed trying to think of another idea. I knew I wanted to keep using watercolor. I had an envision in my head but could not pinpoint it so I googled non-representational art. I then saw kids using paper plates to create a sculpture. I thought I could use watercolor and create movement, pattern, balance, and emphasis on the paper plates. I tried using big paper plates and then cut a slit in the sides to connect them together to form my sculpture. That did not work, they were too heavy. So I engaged and realized I can cut the outside of the paper plate off so it is smaller and will hold. I ended up liking the way the smaller plates looked anyways. My final project demonstrates balance between the paper plates, pattern within my colors, movement between the designs of the watercolor, and emphasis on certain colors. Throughout this project I just went with the flow and used random tools to develop craft. For example, I used the tip of an eraser to get the watercolor on the paper plate, and then I blew on and tilted the plate to create my pattern and design. *My final project had a hard time standing on its own so I leaded it up against something

Interesting idea! You were definitely problems solving as you worked through this sculpture. Did a photo of your final artwork get attached? I only see the one from Pinterest. Let me know when you get it added in!
