This week I continued working on the GoKart. I mainly worked on the seat. I measured the type of angle I wanted and the next step is to attach everything together. A challenge I had was that I didn't know how to measure the angle of the seat but I eventually figured it out and did the Pythagorean theorem. I cut and measured the peices really well. I thinnk its going to come together pretty good. Next week I will be putting the chair together .

Continuation of heart filled with love Description:  This week I researched the best way it would be able to present the picture in the circle. I laminated the picture for protection.

This heart is a gift so I want to put time and effort into it. I also think I cut out acrylic well, I was scared about cracking the whole thing but I did pretty good.

It feels like the world of a two-dimensional painti ng and something we have such a hard time wrapping our heads around," says Alexa.     Alexa was born in Washington, D.C. but grew up in Chevy Chase, Maryland.  Alexa didn't always want to be in artist,  she was heading towards the political sci
