While reading the ‘City Limits’ the word caught my attention. “History books and public television documentaries are always trying to tell you all sort of ‘facts’ about New York….It’s all hokum.”
By the word the writer meant that all the facts are made up. They are not what represents this city.
Project 1 was very interesting. I really enjoyed this project. I realized the beauty in things. There are arts all around us. In this project I have learn the difference between ambious and stable. I believe that it will help me do much better things for the next project. I made a lot of mistakes on my sketches. I didn’t understood the difference between stable and ambious therefore most of my sketches turned out to be stable. But as the project went from one step to another I had a better understanding and therefore my project improved along the way.

The object that I found was a newspaper, a Tropicana juice bottle and a knife wrapper. I decided to use the newspaper and the bottle. Since the newspaper has a lot of papers I took out two pages and turned them into two different shaped objects. The first objects is a geometric shape. It’s a circle. I crumbled up a paper into a ball. The second in the frame is a bottle which is also a geometric shape. The last object is a paper airplane made out of a sheet of the newspaper.
The relationship between these objects can be very simple and very complicated at the same time. The paper objects and the bottles are both geometric shapes but the root of their origin varies. Paper comes from tree but the bottle was made out of plastic. The newspaper and the bottle was found right next to each other. They were on the street next to a building that was under construction. Some construction workers might have left both the newspaper and the bottle there. He had the juice with his breakfast while reading the newspaper.
