My sculpture looks like a tower you would see in a big city. My sculpture is about how you can take scraps and leftover or useless things no longer needed, to make something cool. My piece is titled "Scrap Needle" because it resembles the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington. The tower is full of all different colors added on top of one another and it has a unique shape and textures that are rough, rugged, smooth and bumpy. The proportions are also unique. The shape is evenly balanced out by the placement of the materials and supplies.

The type of media this piece would fit in would be abstract and creative. I used beads, crayons, tips of colored pencils, caps, pencils, erasers, and tips of markers. I took the caps first and put them on with a hot glue gun. Then I made the top of the tower, hot glued it in place, then added the crayons and finally added the colored pencil tips horizontally across the gaps where the ends of the crayons meet.

I'm honestly not sure if anything inspired me because I just threw it together. But this piece does express a social issue about recycling and throwing things away in the trash.  People are more willing to throw things into the garbage instead of recycling or using stuff to make something new and neat. 

As an artists I want to try to do my best at whatever I do that requires some artistic skill and to push myself to be the best artist I can become. I think this piece did help me achieve that goal because I''m not use to doing this kind of art but, it ended up pretty neat for my first try and I enjoyed it.

I learned that you can make art out of almost anything you can get your hands on. It came pretty close to what I imagined my piece would look like and I think it'll differently inspire further words of mine and I can't wait to see how I'll do that.

My artwork looks like a fishing boat. The title is the Lonely Fishing Boat. It consists of stuff that people would throw away, like cardboard, old glue sticks, bottle caps, and pencils. My artwork was inspired by boats. I wanted to show that people throw things away that can be used for art. My goals were to reuse and recycle. Making this helped me reach my goals because I took something that someone would throw away and made a boat. I learned that people throw too much stuff away that they could reuse. I will probably make more boats.
