Today Freida and I had a guest, Chiazam. The three of us went to Mr. Judy to cut out the wing frame from wood and sand them down. Afterwards we returned to the art studio to paint the pieces a drak blue. Ms. Rebecca from NuVU came in towards the end of class and we presented our project to her. She suggested that Frieda and I get the material as soon as possible so we don't have to rush. She also suggested that if we have enough time that we laser cut designs into the material for the cape. 

Throughout the process of the wing project Frieda and I worked to improve and add to the wings. When we were almost done with the project we realized that the wings didn't work, and, on top of that, the wings broke in 3 different places. I took the wings home and my dad informed me that my placements of where the wing pieces overlap were incorrect. My dad helped me cut out new pieces and explained why they must overlap is important. That night I finished the wings and they worked properly. The next day at school Frieda and I finished the wings. 

What I would do differently for my project is use a laser cutter to cut out the wood pieces rather than use a jig saw. By using the laser cutter the pieces would seem more put together. Also I would of used the 3d printer to make pieces that allow the support beams to spin, rather than out of duct tape. Another aspect of the wings would be to find a way to keep the straps on more effectivly than the hot glue and staples. 

Over all I am very proud of the final product.

We are working on a piece of music and are making great progress.

We are still looking into things involving spider phobia. It's harder than what it may seem. We are hoping to come to a conclusion in terms of what we will be making very soon. We should be getting materials to make something spider related soon.

I listened to my advisor about what I should do in my option 1 today. I figured out that i would do a childhood phobia called arachnophobia. We planned to make a spider model which could be transformed into a beautiful thing as a sign of dispelling fear.

We are searching for more materials for our spider models today

This Power Point is one example of a Boogie Man, a lake monster in Lake Champlain, the fear associated with this lake monster, and different ways the community has dealt with dispelling this fear.
