A couple of the unique ideas I had for my project was adding details to the end of the branches and to the trunk. I also made brighter colors on the outside and the dark colors on the inside. I don’t normally add much detail and this project I focused on detail. I focused on detail because an undetailed tree is boring. I was pleased with the colors of the houses, they didn’t clash. I was also pleased with some of the detail in the tree, it made it look a little more realistic. One thing I would improve on is coloring darker.

I created a flower pot. I chose to make this specific thing because you can never go wrong with flower decor, it livens up a room. I hadn’t done a flower pot yet so I wanted to expand on what I have made. To make it more interesting I added overlapping diagonal strips. I improved on making longer coils. I was happy about how there is one side that comes up further than the other. I can turn that side towards a wall. I wanted it to be a little taller but didn’t have the time. I will use it for its intended purpose, I will put a small plant in it. I will then place it in my room. My theme is music. I had chosen music notes, stands, instruments, and the things needed to play such instruments. The instruments I used were the following: flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, bari saxophone, trumpet, trombone, french horn, marching baritone, baritone, bass drum, and snare drum. I also used reeds, eighth notes, quarter notes, quarter rests, and eighth rests. I had hid a few reeds, a flute, and a clarinet. I made it with printed cut outs. I wasn’t pleased with any of it. Why? It didn’t feel like my project or my work.
My love for music inspired this piece, and I had not planned the small fish until half way through. I had two ideas to start with - a large fish and music notes. Music was the better option for me, for it is my passion. The small fish came along later when I was twisting the springs together. To me they looked like small fish. So I got the idea to glue them on the notes. The greatest challenges I had was getting it gone in the amount of time I was given, and keeping the springs together. The springs would pop apart and fly in random directions, some hitting me in the face. I was pretty happy with how the notes turned out. I wasn’t entirely sure whether the disks would spin out of the desired position or not. Only one is a little loose but needs a little assistance if it is th more. I could have taken a little more time painting. The paint is sloppy, and I got some on the disks. If I had a little more time I could have done a neater job painting.
