I chose this theme because I wanted to do something different then just a normal pinwheel. Some problems I ran into were the peace sign wouldn't stand up with only just a peace of wood attached with a hinge to the bottom of the sign, so I added a wood stick that would be staked into the ground and propping up the top of the peace sign. I had to put tape behind each pinwheel because they wouldn't spin. it is successful because the pinwheels do spin and the peace sign does stand up. If I was to change it I would make the wood smoother or I would make it all bigger. I want the pinwheels to spin more freely, they spin but they hit the wood.

What attracted me to this piece of art work was when it was shown in a powerpoint before we started the project. I really liked that there was a skull in the eye so I went off and found the artist and made all my stuff for it. I had problems with the black and white picture. I'm not good at painting at all. I didn't really fix the problem. I also messed up on the Space and Shape by getting green on a yellow part, I didn't fix that ether. The Line is probably the best because I don't have very noticeable errors on it. Doing this didn't make me any better at art because they mostly were a bunch of mess ups that turned out not so bad.

This is my mask; it is a wave hitting a face that is on fire. It symbolizes my feelings toward life. The wave is putting out the fire and the fire is all the hate and bad things in life. I don’t really know what the wave represents but I guess it could be God. In my mind the wave is frozen, waiting for the man behind the mask to die so it can put out the fire that is the man. I had quite a few problems making this. The beads that line the edge of the water were ment to go on the mask, but when I put them on the mask you couldn’t see through the beads. The wave is attached to a big clipboard or I think it’s like an easel, the whole thing is covered in tin foil, and the mask is just glued to it. The wave is made from the same stuff as the mask and I didn’t know how to make it stand up. So my dad said I should hold it up with paint sticks and cover the paint sticks up with tin foil so you couldn’t tell that it was there.
