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 .

This week I was woring on the handle and rehearsing lines. I didn't make much progress on the chair, but cutting out pieces of wood because I am still thinking about how to design it. I worked on my lines with Justin while he held the paper and said the other persons part, while I just said my lines without looking at the paper. So far I think my lines are going pretty well, I think I have to spend more time working on them. I have to work on the second one more with Andrea because I'm less familiar with them. I made more accurate cuts with the chair which I was pretty happy about because it makes life easier when you do it right the first time. Something I want to work on is staying on track and not get distracted because when I get distracted it masses up my whole though process and it takes more time to redirect me. This week I dont think I did too well, I think I should've kept myself and Jason on task more.

Alexa paints over people and objects and makes it look 2-D.  Alexa's work is a combination between installation and phot ography.  "It's really this 3-D world that we're so accustomed to, but just with a little bit of tweaking on it, it appears like so mething completely foreign. 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...

This week I worked on the Haunted House. My room is the bug room and it's basically a room that is gonna have the illusion that bug are all over you. So far al I did was brainstorm ideas and take measurements the next step is to go on amazon and see what we need. Something that went well is the ideas that flowed. I think it is gonna be a really good room. There hasn't been a struggle yet really. This week I think I did okay. I have been dragging a little bit I feel
