Box Project Reflection

Box project Reaction paper

            I believe that when one decides on work they should do something that they enjoy.  I feel that if someone enjoys what they do they will work harder at and that will spark creativity that will help in the future.  Creativity is something that is gained naturally and is also something that people should take advantage of.  I decided to take the career path I chose because I like to generate new ideas and I like to create my own things with my own imagination.

            In this project I decided to approach it by having fun with it.  My idea was basically the thought of what people do for fun, “how can I have fun with this project?” The easiest answer was to make something based on that fact so I went with a game system.

            I approached this by making sketches on which systems were more manageable with the box that I had so I decided that something small was better that a big one.  I planned out the pieces and then I was off to taking the box apart. I cut out each individual piece and pasted them with hot glue. With the left over pieces I decided to make a stand for it so it wouldn’t look plain.  With the stand done and mounted it made the project look more dynamic as a whole.

            In the end I was proud of this piece because I thought I accomplished my goal and fulfilled the purpose.  Despite the messy lines the sculpture worked well.  I had fun with it and that was one of my goals for this.
