(minimum 100 words)

    I got the most information from the nature walk. During this walk I had time to reflect on what I wanted to make and focus on. I ended up realizing I wanted to highlight pops of color as well as a natural look. I got stuck/ frustrated when it came time to choose what to make. At first I thought I would want to make a pair of boots. Then I realized it didn't quite fully represent what I wanted. I then thought I would do a purse. I realized that I liked the shape of a purse and something you could walk around with but there wasn't enough nature to it. Thats when I added the flowers and turned it into a flower basket. I'm not sure what you mean by partner artist. However, the artist I choose for inspiration helped me because he focused on nature with filters on it that made somethings pop. It also showed me how I didn't want my flower basket to have to many cool colors. As I mentioned before my final creation was not what I originally had planned. I transitioned from a shoe to a purse to a flower basket. My thoughts on my critique are simple. I think that I got great advice and that I should definitely change the shaping a little bit.

    If I were to make a second version of my basket I would make a few changes. Starting with the shape of the basket. I would transition it to something made out of a more durable material allowing me to have a shape that wasn't floppy. Looking at the handle made me realize I would also want it to seem more like one piece than many glued together. I want it to look this way because it gives a more seamless look to the basket. That's what I was trying to go for so that the flowers could pop. Instead I felt like the eye was drawn to the choppy and raggy parts of my basket. I would also change the exterior of the basket. I think I would transition away from cloth and into a woven like basket. This gives it a more traditional look. I definitely used cloth because I was planning on making a purse. So to change it up I could change the structure, exterior material, and interior material.

"Silent Walk" Reflection

Image
From Part A I chose two photos that represent the song "Vianne Sets Up Shop" from the film "Chocolat". It is by Rachel Portman. The song is bouncy and happy. I used it to represent yellow. https://open.spotify.com/track/2vPalVURlUvEwv4xsLGbEM?si=e7dc7f294cac4af5 I choose this image because the bottom cloud in the middle looks like a person dancing sort of like a freestyle flow dance. I decided to name this one The Dancer. I choose this image because the sun makes it look like a person with their hands extended. This gives me a happy welcoming vibe. I named this one The Hugger. The next song I choose was "Where is my Mind" by Javi Lobe. I used it to represent a calm feeling. When walking to this song I found more down to earth in a sense shapes. They were more mellow. In this image I see a heart. It could also look like a person making that sort of heart shape. I named it Heart Blob. In this image I saw a person laying down with their legs and arms out inf...

Inspirational Picture/Quote

Image
               I chose this image and quote because it represents something I love. The picture is of my favorite NHL (National Hockey League) player, Sidney Crosby. He plays for the Penguins a team that plays out of Pittsburgh. Ever since I started watching hockey Sidney Crosby was my inspiration. I find this quote relatable because I am very much of a perfectionist it makes it hard for me to just relax and enjoy experiences. This quote talks about letting yourself appreciate things instead of always being uptight. I think this is definitely something I can learn from. Overall, I choose this quote because of my ability to relate to it and my liking for Sidney Crosby.
