What is my theme? For my altered book, I decided to undertake the idea, and theme, of Flight. However, this was not my initial concept. I began with the vague idea of animals as a whole, actually. With so many possibilities that could sprout with such a topic, I decided to narrow it down a bit. From animals, I took it down a notch to my favorite types of animals: birds. From there, I took a change in theme, and I wanted the piece to be more symbolic. Since I still wanted to mix birds in there in some fashion, I happened to do exactly that. Thus, in the final product, I was able to get a nice mix of a bird and the abstract idea of flight into the artwork. What 3 (or more) different media will I use? In our project, of course, we had to utilize several different media to create the outcomes we desire. In the case of my project, I used a variety of media such as acrylic paint, glue, an Exacto Knife, construction paper, and wire. These are the materials that aided in the creation process. How does my piece extend into space? …show more content…
For my piece, there are two main ways that my project extends from the canvas. One of these being the feathers suspended from the page by wire, and the other being the wing literally made from the cut pages of the book. Notably, the way my piece is sets up helps to exemplify leaving the canvas. I have it set up where the left side of the book is more caved inwards, whereas the right side begins to rise off of the page. This sense of left-to-right elevation helps to serve the three-dimensional aspect of the
I first drew out a plan of where I wanted pictures, characters, quotes, etc.Then I got a wood frame that I created along with my dad. Painted it gray to make a good contrast between the white, black, and orange colors. After gathering the information need to complete my project. I glued it on another sheet to bring it out then glued that onto the board. A found an old clipboard to add more effect on as if you were in a game and put my annotated sources and process paper.
Looking at the story by Kiley Bales “I Can Fly” is short yet direct. When I looked at this picture, I saw a bird who wanted to learn how to fly. Each picture is an exemplification of his growth mindset. While failing more than once and even twice the bird still challenged himself to solve this problem. When asking my son Jacob, who is ten years old to look at this story and tell me what he thinks, I was happy to see that he has a growth
Throughout this essay Annie Dillard uses many similes to give readers a more precise mental image of what the airplane looked like as it was flying through sky. In the essay Dillard describes, “The plane looped the loop, seeming to arch its back like a gymnast.” In this simile, Dillard compare the airplane to a gymnast. This affects the essay because readers think of a gymnast, spinning and moving in ways human should not be able to move, just as the plane was spinning in a way planes do not normally move. Dillard also explains, “The other pilots could do these stunts too... But Rahm used the plane inexhaustibly, like a brush marking thin air.” In this quote, Dillard is explain how other pilots can fly too, but Rahm makes flying an art. This
The Invention of Wings is a book that tells the story of slavery, sexism and the friendship of two women both facing different Struggles. This story shows that it really doesn’t matter what you grew up with that there is no excuse for not seeing what is wrong in the world and that there needs to be a change. It shows that if a child is able to identify and reject the dehumanization of other people there is no reason that an adult shouldn’t be able to do the same.
The images related to birds are the major symbolic images in the narrative from the very beginning of the novel:
In chapter 15 from Thomas C. Fosters’ How to Read Literature Like A Professor, flight is discussed to represent multiple forms of freedom and escape, or possible failure and downfall. Throughout J. D. Salingers’ novel, The Catcher and the Rye, Holden often finds himself wondering where the ducks in the Central Park pond have flown off to due to the water freezing over. On the other hand, the ducks are symbolic of Holden are his interest in the ducks an example of Foster’s ideas that flight represents a desire to be free.

People have always seen birds flying and wished they could fly. Hunt expresses his personal experience through his artworks. It is about investigating ideas of personal and collective freedom.

scorched paper, I grieved for my father as though he had just died.” Another symbol of trying to escape for freedom. However, this is all a contrast to what birds actually do. represent in real life. Birds are a part of a class of animals that have the ability to roam.
Such as wooden rods, wooden pegs, paper scroll, tea bags, a lighter, ribbon, markers, and a feather. First I started off by separating the wooden rods into two, and hot gluing the wooden pegs on both sides of the rod to give it more of a realistic dimension. Next, I measured a certain amount of paper scroll which would fit in between the rods. That created the base for the Torah. Then I took a tea bag and made sure it was wet so that I could dab it on top of the scroll to make it look old and historic. After that, I began to fill the inside with Hebrew lettering, and symbols just like an actual Torah scripture. I also added quotes that resembled life, and the purpose of living, and how Jewish people were treated in olden days. Lastly, I finished it off by rolling it and adding a red ribbon around it, and a feather to give it a finished
Flight, despite only having four main principles, proves to be a large undertaking. And where nature has succeeded very well man has failed to master completely. These animals, through many years of evolution, show how flight is supposed to work, with minimal energy required. Mankind could learn much from what mother nature has given evolution.

...project. It might seem repetitive, but everything that was put into this project was purposely done to lead up to a look of reality and fantasy, which is why charcoal was used.
Ever wondered about what initiated the ability of flight among insects and vertebrates? About how the creatures take off and venture into their flight? Well if “yes” was an answer to one of the questions (or even if it wasn’t), Flight is the place to find the answers.
Picture 20-24 OPEN books of all sizes attached to a board that is roughly 6ft x 6ft in size (only the covers of the books will be attached to the board). Using approximately fifteen pages from each book, I will paint images within them. Five images will be abstract; another five will be smaller realistic images, and the remaining will be images that connect each book together forming five large-scale images (like a puzzle or connect the dots). In doing this, I want to construct it in a way where the audience can approach the piece and turn through the pages arbitrating the image of choice by pinning it. Essentially, the individual can either flip to random pages or try to puzzle it together forming a one of the larger images. However, the process of this will be grueling in figuring out the best way to attach the books. As well as precise measurements to assure the books fit into the frame. If the math is done right, this would give a variation by the
