Reflection
First, we wet the reed and then started to bend it in different directions and ways. We made 3 different pieces, then picked a final piece. We let our final piece dry and then looked where we wanted to put our paper. We picked what color paper we wanted and then traced out and cut it out. Then glued it on my piece and let it dry.
I made 4 loops but I did not want all of them to be the same and I made two triangles shapes and one of the triangles I have my paper in that space. I also made the reed overlap itself and twist.
I have always thought of sculpture as a man or person made out of stone or clay but now I understand that it's not just that and sculptures and be made out of lots of things and sculptures can be lots of objects.
