My favorite material to work with is clay. I love the stage called leather hard when the clay is not very flimsy at all and it feels cool. My unicorn that I made with clay was my favorite clay project to do. I like clay because it is squishy and really fun to use. It reminds me of the days when I would play with play-dough. There are a lot of things you can do with clay. Just be sure you slip and score so the clay doesn't fall apart on you. Another thing i really love about clay is the glaze. Glazing clay is just as fun as making the piece of clay. Clay is just a really fun thing to use overall.
I had some past experience doing art, especially with painting. I used this experience of painting in my marble drop. I had to paint part of the tree, snowman, and the ornament. I had to use my skill of painting to do the small details and to help mix the colors for the main parts of the marble drop. Also, I had to help tell what colors would work best for this project. Since it was a team effort we had to work together, which I learned over the years especially because of my big family. School also teaches you to work together because of team projects and things like games in gym. Also I had to tweak it because the marble would not go into the present at the end at first.
The least favorite material I used was the Popsicle sticks. I think it was a bad decision to use a material that I had never used before. I think i didn't like it as much because it took a while. Also because it didn't turn out the best. It was also pretty hard to paint. The balloons didn't end up on the top either. I had no real idea on how to get them there either. Next time i would use cardboard or something easier to use and paint.
