These past few days in the art room I was engaged and persisted through my art projects. I do so by focusing on my work and doing my best to stay on track. I am not very good at working with wire, as I messed up countless times. But I kept trying. I keep trying to envisioning something which is very hard for me, I struggle with coming up with ideas. With the wire I envisioned somebody in Hawaii with a lei on. When reflect back on my wire project I would do some things differently. I would make the legs thicker and attach it around the bottom of the button so it can stand up on its own. I would wrap wire around a button for the stomach so it has a better base to attach the arms. Other than that I am satisfied with how the head and lei turned out!

I worked on developing and crafting. I used new techniques used/created cardboard, paper hat, and the paper with our goals written on them. With cardboard I utilized the cardboard given to me and tried manipulating it in ways I haven't before. I envisioned a bridge and flowers made out of cardboard. I ended up rolling ends of the cardboard in a circle to get a flower shape, I see a flower, not sure if others will. For my bridge idea only had a little bit of cardboard left so I cut small pieces and bent it into a bridge shape I did that multiple times and stacked them. With the paper hat I developed an idea in my head and tried to execute it. I ended up attaching paper that was to short so I persisted and tried the curl the ends with a scissors. The curls made the strands even shorter which I thought was cute. I didn't have time to finish curling the ends but I just went with it. When we wrote our goals on paper and cut them out I crimped the pieces of paper made some shorter and some wider so it could fit everything on to the small piece of cardboard. I have taken two art classes and I really enjoy learning about new techniques, learning from my classmates, and Mrs.Underhill. My goal for this semester is to expand my art ability and have fun! I am not the best at art but I like creating it! While making art it clears my mind and relaxes me. I am willing to go out of my comfort zone and try new things. You will never get better at something unless you try and practice.
