My favorite piece of the year is the felt collages. I liked the assignment itself because there weren’t too many guide lines and there were too little. I liked the fact that we had to represent out Medieval guild character because it made me be creative when I actually started making my piece. I liked what I did with the project because I feel like I did a really good job of explaining my Medieval character while not making it too clustered at the same time. I was in the music guild so I made an instrument out of felt. I was poor so I added some ripped clothes. I was from France so I made a French flag.

Final Map Project Post
This is my finished map project. It is a snow globe with important places in New York City. I would like to name this piece of art Me Globe. I created this by first, thinking of the idea to make a snow globe, second figuring out what places I wanted to include in my snow globe, and third executing the idea and actually making it. Something I learned while creating this is that anything can become art and the fact that I ended up with a snow globe when the only restriction was that I had to use a map is amazing. My favorite part of my snow globe is the hanging ballet shoe because it took be a long time to get the shoe to look exactly how I wanted it so I am proud of it. If I could change something about it, I would choose to use a different jar so I could add more places on the map. While making this it surprised me how long it took to actually make this happen. At first I thought that I would be done before everything else because the idea is pretty simple, but once I started working on it I realized there was a lot of thought that I had to put into how exactly I wanted it to look. Something else I want to share about this piece is that there is actually a piece of map on the top of the jar it is just hard to see. 
Poem 3
Spring
Leaves are growing back
It is time for warm weather
It is time for shorts

This is a Haiku poem. It is a syllable count. The first line has to be five syllables, the second line has to be seven syllables and the third line has to be five syllables. I use syllable count in this poem and line breaks. I like this poem because it explains how I feel about spring.
Poem 2
The Show
It’s our turn to go,
I’m nervous but I know
We can put on a great show
Will I fly above the sky
Or will I crash and cry?
I don’t know
But what I do know
Is that we can put on a great show

Since I do dance and I have to preform, I wanted to explain how I feel before I go on stage. My poem has rhyme and beat. I like this poem because it explains how I feel before I go on stage and that my dance friends and I are confident even though we are nervous.
Poem 1
Ice cream
Ice cream
Creamy, Sweet
Licking, Melting, Dripping
Between my fingers
Yum!

When I wrote this poem, it was starting to get warmer out. That made me think of ice cream because I eat a lot of ice cream when it is warm out. This is a Cinquain poem. This is the layout for a Cinquain poem:
Line1: 1 noun
Line2: 2 adjectives
Line 3: 3 -ing words
Line 4: 1 phrase
Line 5: Another word for the noun
I used line breaks in this poem. i also kind of used imagery. I don’t love this poem because it is about a simple subject that isn’t very meaningful. It is also very straight forward. I could make it better by making it less straight forward and more meaningful. Maybe I could connect it to summer and how I eat ice cream when it’s hot outside.
