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.

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. 

In art class recently I have been working on my map art. I already made a post about this, but I’ve made a little more progress. I am going to take it home soon and make it into a real snow globe with water and glitter.

This is my map art. I am making a snow globe. It is going to have pieces of the map inside the snow globe, laminated. I am going to choose important parts of the map to me to include. I am going put the reason it’s important on the spot on the map. For example I am going to put a ballet shoe on the place that I dance. I am going to put a house on top of my map. The next step for me is finishing the drawings and laminating them.
