Reflection

When I first started the sculpture I played around a lot with the reeds and the shapes they made. Once I was satisfied I paper clipped and glued the reeds into place. After they had dried I took pieces of paper and chose a vocal point to glue the paper to. Once finished with that I let it dry and I took a photo of the piece and measured it. I think I had a good variety of shapes in my sculpture and chose a good vocal point. Your eyes are naturally drawn to the middle of the sculpture and with the added help of the paper it all comes together. One thing I learned whilst doing this project was how to use space and lines to my advantage and how to add emphasis to certain areas of an art piece.
