I chose to do a wolf (nature theme) because I think nature is peaceful. The quietness and peacefulness in nature relaxes me and soothes me. Wolves are a pack animal and rely on each other and is really no fighting within the pack. A wolf means something to me because it's my favorite animal. The wolf also __best__ resembles me and my personality. Some problems I had was figuring how to make the parts, was I going to try to make it all in one or individual pieces. I ended up making a head, body, tail, feet, legs and __ears__. Then it came to putting it all together which was a pain. Then putting the gaws on was kinda easy but took for ever and then days __start__ to lessen and I had less time so i had to rush. Then figuring out how I want to paint it. The pinwheel really only problem I had was figuring out how to make it spin (it kept hitting the stick. I ended up sticking a eraser behind it and in front of it and it worked till little kids got ahold of it. I thought my project was very successful. I worked very hard on it in the little time I had and it came out nice I think. It really stands out from all the other plain pinwheels. A lot of people said positive things about it so I was happy. I was also happy about my self and my accomplishment.

I was attracted to this piece because of the many colors and range of shades. I also am a big fan of wolves so that was a bonus. They sky also was very cool looking and I loved the way it looked. The moon was very well done too.

I really like doing the tile it was hard and challenging. The black and white piece was fun also and it turned out very good. The other ones were not as fun to do but they still came out pretty good. The spaces one turned out the worst.

I struggled with the shapes on because the the glue was really sticky and made it hard to put the paper down. It was also hard cutting it and making the right shape. When ever I thought that I got the shape right I tried to put it down and it was the wrong shape. I did not come out very well.

Yes it has, let me see the art work different ways. I see the different shades of black and white. I also got to see the different shapes.

I choose to do a wolf and a stump because my passion for the wolf race. The stump symbolizes peace, nature, the process of life. The stump is dead but yet still alive in many ways. It shields animals such as the wolf. It is also the home to the moss which is alive. The wolf can use things like this to hide from his pray while he hunts. My most troubling problem was the eyes. It was hard to paint and make them. As you can see the right eye is bigger than the left but they still look alright. I am very proud of this piece, I put a lot of work into it and it turned out well. The fur and the color looks good and the eyes turned out better than I thought it would. I am happy with the way this turned out and it is one of my most well done pieces.
