The birds sound serene

All around there is green

Sneakers chirp on the court

Tennis is a grueling sport

Trees move swiftly with the breeze

The court is silent as I wheeze

I stand very tall when I serve the ball

The sound is of a bass drum

Thunderous, and well struck

I ace my opponent, definitely not by luck

I liked this project, I actually often catch myself doing this exploration without ever knowing what I was really doing.  I decided to create a poem, because I felt like I could portray what I heard better than had I drawn it out.  I spent over an hour playing tennis, and as I was competing I listened to the sounds around me.  It was actually quite therapeutic and helped me not think about the game as much and helped me relax.  Fun exploration!

Hi all,

I had some fun doing this project walking around downtown, I actually found a couple while I was on my way to a ghost tour.  I had trouble figuring out what to do for my letters so I decided to go ahead and make a book for them all.  I ended up re-doing the project 3 times due to my presentation part of the project not being up to par.  Anyway, this was the best I could come up with.  Thanks for reading!

This project was fun for me, and I decided to use the map from Game of Thrones.  To destroy my map, I kept the map in my pocket all day, drew on it, poked holes in it, and burned it.  When I found out the second half of the project I decided to make leaves.  In the show, all of the characters always use the phrase “winter is coming” and the map reminded me of autumn with its colors.  I decided the continents looked like leaves so I went with some nice leaves and used real sticks to glue them to the bristle board.  The gray material on the board is the ash from the ashes of the excess of the map that weren’t used as leaves.

During critique I needed to work on my presentation and “selling” my work.  I agree, I am a bit shy so maybe that’s why I didn’t do as well on the presentation part.

Thanks for reading.
