8P7 - Cardboard Creations

Using markers and cardboard, I created a 2 sided cardboard Mario and Luigi. I created a 2 sided cardboard Mario and Luigi because I thought it would be interesting to make. I also created this because I wanted to make something with my friends and make something that we all like.

During this process I learned many things. I learned how to make a cool cardboard creation of my favorite video game character. I also learned that it is very easy to make stuff and cut stuff out of cardboard. I also learned how to make a grid for drawing.

The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Global Collaborator. My project ties to Global Collaborator because I uploaded my video to my website so the world can see it.

A challenge I overcame on this project was not finding the right colors to color Mario and Luigi with. I was able to do it by using other similar colors instead. Another challenge I overcame was making all of the boxes 2 square inches each. I was able to do it by using a ruler to make the boxes exact and nice.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change how messy the sides are. The reason why I would change it is because there are pieces of extra cardboard that hang off of the sides, which makes the project look like we took no time into cutting out the project. If I wanted to fix this I'd just have to cut the extra pieces off with scissors.
