I approach this project with a couple things in mind but, I had one idea that wanted to regardless of the other ideas. I wanted to make dragon out of wire. I figure that this mythological creatures were the perfect thing to show movement. Because dragons do not exist and there isn't a set bases for what the dragon can look like, I can put in the wired a dragon of my own design. since dragons are mythology beings, i use my dragon as symbol of a dream i had. I created a sketch of my ideal dragon. With the dragon, I had made a stand of wire to support the dragon. However this didn't leave a lot of work for the imagination of my audience. I was pretty much telling them what my dragon was doing. I have to show movement within my wire creation so I decided to figure out ways to show movement without the use of visual like stand made of wire. I create more sketches and found that I can create the illusion of flying by adding more wings. The increased amount of wings will support the dragon so that I don’t need a stand. That wasn't the only problem I faced to with the creation of the dragon. I needed to play create a sturdier body for the dragon. The way I had it originally designed I had wire in many loops to create the body. To change, I got a suggestion to spiral to pieces of wire and coil a piece around it. The body is stronger and still able to be moved around. Unfortunately, I have not finished the dragon for the project so I can own describe the outcome of what I have so far. The dragon has for the most part can stand on its own. The wings kind of act as counter balance to the weight of the dragon. I kind of looks like it is flying but that could use more work. I get more of a dragon coming right at you effect like it could be flying or gliding across the ground to come at some or something for an attack. I kind of like that effect. I don’t if it shows less movement that the first I detail but it gives off a sense of determination in the fact that this will get to its prey and it is not going to stop for anything. The idea of the dragon changed. it became dying dragon. The head has skull like structure and the wings are like that because they are decaying. the body is different colors to show how unhealthy the dragon has become. the dragon symbolize my dream of flying and i know that is impossible for me to fly by myself. Therefore, the dying dragon is my dying dream of flying.

“I want to kill myself” is what I want to title this piece; however that a bit too negative for myself so I call this the life of an art student. It starts with all the joy in the world, flying high into the clouds only to have it make a crash landing into reality. The dream has been crush by the hands of fate. Those hands so stiff with plaster, that moving each one in position becomes the task itself. I try to continue the work of combining the softness of passive feathers into white impure darkness of crystalize paste, to my luck it is becoming ever more a chore. It takes away my escape from reality, grounding me into cage, chaining me to bars and the keys are forever in my sight. For if I am free to early I will forever be inside that cage. I long for the end of the cursed task of creation of framework of consisted smoothness, structure and balance.
At the time of recording logs of this project, I have not yet completed each form due to the inflexibility of the feathers in my first mold. As I create calligraphy with the use of my laptop, I realized that this assignment wasn’t that bad. It was fairly amusing to mix the plaster together and the paste form felt oozy and a bit clammy. Overall for the experience it wasn’t that bad however the application of inscribing texture was a fairly daunting and a bit depressing. The experience has given life to a new appreciation for sculptors and I wish to try this again someday when I don’t have time frame that is too small me to bring out the full beauty of the project.
P.S. I had a very bad headache doing his so I think I kind of lost my way in the beginning. Please understand and thank you for take some time to read this. also i will add work form sketch book on Friday because i forgot to take pictures out of my sketch book

A Paper Wish
As I create folds made with fallen branches and oxygen reduction, I have realized that form can take in within the most delicate of material. One must be careful with the cutting of the material for each task must be done correctly without error. I shalt create new pieces to become scales of the body. The body will be made to stand on its own and become stable to support itself. I find no hatred with this project only disgust, disgust for ideas flow into my head, swimming around as ready to jump out in the real world. Only to be brought down by the gravity of sickness and inability. I want to find meaning with the project’s text. I want to want to break to the walls or close-mindedness. For I am a fool who lives to bright out a form of life out of my fantasy. The deadline is here. Today sleep will disappear again for it is time to work again. These are the stepping stones that will balance me into my future. I wish I could join the worlds of reality to my world of creation. I want to make a beast taller than the very heavens themselves, stronger than the mightiest typhoons, and a graceful as any rose. A beast that can truly stand on its own. A beast that shows my imagination at its finest. A beast that is created perfectly out of my brain, into a wonderful work of art. For this is my wish, as an artist. After all, “The world cannot be changed with pretty words alone.” (Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass)
A fun question for you: “Suppose there is an evil that justice cannot bring down. What would you do? Would you taint your hands with evil to destroy evil? Or would you carry out your own justice and succumb to that evil?.” (Lelouch Lamperouge, Code Geass)

Piece statement
For the title of this piece, I will love to call it the “perfect plan” but things seems to never become perfect. We must construct works of art into something quite fetching to use our daily lives. Our material is quite interesting in the fact that is looks really to fall the slightest mention of the word water but looks can be deceiving. For it is as strong as tree chopped into perfect pieces, forming the greatest of architectures. Ideas of plenty, overflowing with plans for the future, only to keep crashing into the ground of modern world. I must use the sticky adhesive to keep my table together for it is not strong enough the stand alone. At the time of this typing the project is yet to be finished, I do pray for more time to finish this task. However, I fear if I don’t get it done now it shalt not be finish anytime soon, I have mastered the art of procrastination and struggle to create my ideal into a reality.
Sorry this one is short, I had a hard getting my ideas together and want to spend more time on the project.
