For the first project for sculpture, we had to choose a shape and cut it out 14 times. Once you had it cut out, you had to cut slits into it so that each piece was exactly the same. Then we had to arrange it into 3 different arrangements. You wanted to make sure that you used balance and made the negative space interesting. I chose a butterfly for my shape. I had thought about several different shapes, but I didn't like how they turned out. I really like butterflies and have used them for several of my previous projects. That's one of the reasons I thought about using a butterfly. Also, I thought that, because of the shape, it would have interesting negative space. I think that it turned out really good and it's kinda cool to look at.
