Masking Tape Shoes: Due- 3/20/2017
- Explain the process start to finish. I cut up note cards to form the shape of the bottom of the shoe and then I wrapped tape around repeatedly until it was thick enough. Then I made the strap across and attached it by wrapping tape around it again. Then I made the big toe strap and super glued it to the bottom.
- What do you find successful about your piece? The shape and it was clean cut not messy.
- What would you change? How was it unsuccessful? I wish I made it bigger. I also wish that I had added more detail.

Unconventional Material Challenge: Due- 3/15/2017
- Brainstorm page
- 1 page sketch
- 2-3 photos of your piece from several angles
- What material did you have? I had origami papers.
- What made it hard to work with? It was hard to fold it symmetrically because if you were off just by a little it messed up the rest of the folds.
- What did you make and and why? I made a koala face and a giraffe because they looked cute and had a zoo theme to it.
- How is your piece successful? They turned out well and looked like the thing I based it off of.
Pit Fire - Due: 3/15/2017
Learning Techniques Post (Group Work)
2. How do you feel your piece was successful and how might you change it if you were to make it again?
I think this is one of my better pieces, The shape turned out well on the wheel and the colors are more vibrant than I expected. I would make it bigger and try to add more fun colors like blue, pink, and green.
- Photo of each tutorial page *See Maddie Magenaro's blog*

I think I would use the coil method.
