Reflection on Paper presentation

Overall I think that the paper presentation went well. Our group did a good job of engaging all the students so they would stay interested.  The cootie catcher that we made I think was also a very good idea and and was a good way to share all the topics we needed to go over. The making of the paper hats was also very intriguing and let the students get involved and get a feel for making 3D objects with paper. The paper group also had a lot of examples of how paper was used and let people get a feel for how much it is used in our everyday lives.
       People that were watching this presentation never seemed to get bored and stayed focused. This was a good sign that we weren't too boring. I liked how our group showed examples of what we were talking about so that the kids could see how the paper was used. I also noticed how the students were into learning about how paper can be used with elephant poop. My group was the first group to go and i think that we did a good job taking on that task. Its always the hardest to go first because you do not know what to expect and your group is the group that the rest of the groups base their presentations after.

sculpture

There are a lot of differences between my sketch and sculpture. The sculpture for one is 3D and and colorful. The drawing doesnt look like what the actual object looks like. The sculpture is bigger and there is tin foil to symbolize the silver. The sketch doesnt really look like it has ski's on it but the sculpture you can tell. With the sculpture you can see how the statue was made and what is attached to what. With being able to see every angle it gives you a feel for how it was made and the dimensions. The drawing of the statue is not as realistic looking as the sculpture. The picture i drew is also a lot smaller than the sculpture. i would say the picture of it shows a lot of shading and shadows. With the sculpture it gives the real shadows and real shades.
