I told the story of my bike being stolen at a CVS by a homeless man. I made sure to use all of the random materials provided to me by my teacher without relying on the materials found around the classroom. I wish I would've used pliers to shape the paperclips for the bike instead of my fingers but I only found out about the pliers after I was finished. I used hole stretching across the base of the board and a wooden stick to give the car the ability to move. The homeless man was made completely of random materials including: 3 paper clips, a Popsicle stick, and a rubber band to hold it all together.

I chose these specific colors to match the colors of "Spider-Man" as he is seen in his iconic red and blue suit. I used clay to build from the bottom up into a jar shape. I learned to sculpt, carve, and mold clay in this lesson. The goal of the project was to make a jar that could open and close without the lid falling over. It is sorta what I imagined in my head but I believe I could do better the more I worked with clay. What I like best is the dots that array the top of the jar. I enjoyed creating this piece and it was a great intro to the world of clay.

In this project I was able to put my clay training to the test in making a clay whistle. The process of making it whistle was definitely the hardest part but through perseverance and trying again and again I succeeded. When told to turn my whistle into something cool the first thing that came to mind was the "Graduation Bear'' from Kanye West's iconic 3 album run "The College Dropout", "Late Registration", and "Graduation". When making it I used a 3D model I found on the web and used that as a reference, from there I molded the face to fit the bear. I created ears to top it off and a nose to add as a center piece. After turning my whistle to a bear I glazed it 3 times and got it baked turning it into a functioning Kanye West whistle.
