Sidewalk Chalk

    Symbolism

      Over the three days that my team and I worked on the sidewalk chalk project, we first learned about symbolism and the history of symbolism. Symbolism has been used for millions of years as a way to communicate a story or an event.After the team and I looked at multiple symbols and their meaning, we all chose one that represented who we were. I chose to create a dolphin due its meaning. Dolphins symbolize love for children. I love to be around children, and playing with them, so it made sense for me to pick the dolphin. I also chose the color blue because blue represents water, peace, and being calm. I'm a very easygoing person who's usually calm, so that's why I picked blue.

The Process 

     It wasn't easy coming up with an idea to combine all of our symbols together. Four of us, including me, chose a symbol that can be found in nature, while the other member chose a rope, which would be difficult to combine. Our decision was to create all our symbols in one, big nature scene. The fifth member's symbol would be the frame of our nature scene, and we would have the animals near their natural domain.

The Experience 

     The team experience was good. We all listened to each other's ideas and opinions. We all worked independently and together at the same time, which was something that I've never experienced before. In the end, there would be nothing that I would change about this event.
