Earth Day

1. I think the garbage gets from me to the ocean when i put the garbage in public trash cans. Then, the trash would be collected in a trash dump site. Then, it would be burned or put in a boat and than trashed in the ocean.

2. I think that the trash like old ipods or the packaging for the electronics can not be recycled, so it would be dumped in to the ocean.

3. I think if i could recycle the cans i usually trash in the cafeteria. Also, i could reuse the paper bags after going to the shopping mall and i could recycle more of the plastic bottles. Also i could recycle the straws or the caps of the bottle which i never did.

Alter Ego pinch pot bottle

i chose to make a dolphin for my alter ego because i am slow at doing things and also shy however, dolphins are playful, fast at the same time. therefore i made my dolphin jumping out of the water playfully. i think i was successful in the modeling stage because my sculpture seems natural. i liked how the tail and the body seem like it was in one piece eventhough it was two separate pieces. i think i was also successful at slip and scoring. however, did not do a good job on the top fin. this made the fin crack. however, i am pleased with my sculpture because it still came out the way i thought it would and it managed to stand even when the head and the tail's weight did not balance on the waves. however if i could change my sculpture, i would redo the right fin because, even if it stuck, the joints looked a little messy. also i would smooth out the scratches by the eye that i have made while slip and scoring the eye.

The assignment we had was to create a paper sculpture of a person doing something that is free standing therefore able to be seen in every direction and not attached to a base. In the beginning, i was about to make the person standing, however, it was hard for me to make it stand. therefore, i decided to make my person do something that he could do lying down. so i made a wide base as the water and the person swimming. My sculpture was three dimensional including the water because i ripped the edges and stuck them back on way it would rise or sink. however, my sculpture could not be seen from the bottom because there was tape all over the bottom. however, if i could do this project again, i would want to use glue on the bottom instead so it could also be seen from the bottom.
