paper presentation summary

          In our presentation, we talked about paper. We used a coodie catcher so we could involve the audience and teach them more about paper. In our coodie catcher we talked about many things such as the history of paper, different projects for paper, and different uses of paper. I thought it was a good idea how we all took turns using the coodie catcher so we all were involved in presenting. I think we all talked an equal amount and we were all really into our presentation.
           In our presentation, we were all wearing paper, hats that we made. We talked about how paper can be used for many things. Almost all businesses use paper. Also, it can be used for origami, like our coodie catcher. We also taught the audience how to make paper hats. I thought that was a creative idea.

Nikki's sculpture of the window

          There are many differences between my sketch and my sculpture. My sketch looks very rough, while my sculpture looks more defined. In my sketch, the shape of the circle looked more like an oval, but in my sculpture it is more of a circle. My sculpture is 3d, while my sketch is 2d. I think my sculpture looks better than my sketch because the sketch is boring looking.
          My sculpture is going to be in some type of color, while my sketch is just in pencil. In my sketch, you can see the rim of the circle, from the angle that I was at. I am not putting that in my sculpture because I don't think it would look right. In my sketch, then middle square is shaded in, but I am not putting that on the sculpture. My sculpture is made of glue and cardboard, while my sketch is just on paper. Also, my sketch is smaller than my sculpture.
