Found Object Sculpture Reflection

Sailing Away
The sculpture my partner and I made is suppose to be a sailboat on the water sailing away. When you move the gears, the sailboat moves back and forth. Whoever is viewing the artwork then gets the feeling of an actual sailboat sailing away on the water. The process of making this sculpture was fun! We had to find all the right shades of blue for the water, and find something to create the base of the boat out of. I loved having to search for the objects we needed, and being able to think of a way each object could be used. One struggle we encountered was the gears becoming lose and falling off. At one point during the process of making this sculpture, the gears to make the sailboat move fell of. We tried to glue it back on, but it took a gluing to make the gears stay back on and still work. The most successful aspect of the project was having the boat move. I believe that people enjoyed that part the most.
