Final Project!

        At the beginning of the class I thought I knew what I wanted to do for my final project. As the class progressed and my knowledge for Earth Art expanded my idea changed a number of times. From using pieces I had made in my basic sculpture class, to replicating the circles I love to draw, to playing in the elements of dirt, sand and, water. All of my ideas merged together and took a whole different spin. To make Earth Art, I wanted actually use want the Earth was able to give me, at this particular time of the year, falling leaves. The process of fall is one that I use to not appreciate as much as the other seasons, but this year I had a different connection to it. A couple of weeks ago both of my tires on my bicycle popped, I have not been able to buy new ones, so I have had to walk to all of my classes. It’s not a huge hassle I just had to get use to leaving my house earlier than normal. From this experience I have watched leaves fall from the trees to the streets. The colors of the leaves this year have caught my attention more than ever. Leaves were meant to provide nutrition for the soil of the Earth, but living is a city, leaves are not doing what they were made to do. What I wanted to do for my final projects was arrange leaves I collected throughout the streets of Richmond, and allow the people of Richmond to view leaves in a different way. What you are about to see are documentations and a video of my process. Enjoy!
