For this main project I made a Rube Golburg marble drop. Instead of making just a plain marble drop, I chose to make it themed. In this project the problem I was trying to solve was getting the marble from the top of the marble drop to the end. I encountered many obstacles during this project. I wanted to start the marble drop by dropping it through the nose of the elephant. I had to remake the nose 5 times because I could never get it the right size to fit the marble. Also the ramps the marble was supossed to go down weren't big enough to keep the marble from falling off. So, throughout the process I had to keep adding on to them.
I REFLECT:
Throughout this project I had to stop and reflect on how my art was turning out. I did this multiple times. I would stop an see if the things I was adding to the project were benifiting the marble drop along with making it look good. Everytime I added a new part to the marble drop I had to make sure it would be helpful and plan out how it would work.
I CREATE ORIGINAL ART:
For this project I created different, original art. For this project, most people that made marble drops made plain marble drops, but I chose to make it themed. I like elephants, so I thought it would be cool to have an elephant themed marble drop. I also made the marble go through the elephant as if it was something the elephant was eating. It entered through the nose(my version of the mouth) and ended at the rear end of the elephant.
