PROJECT 3A 

Have you ever heard of the 4 elements on earth? I'm pretty sure you have :) But, to be on the safe side, I'll explain what they are. 

   air      earth      water     fire

                  

As you can can tell from the pictures above, the 4 elements consists of air, earth, water and fire. These elements represent 

Here's my version of the 4 elements on earth :)

You may question what has the 4 elements on earth has got to do with the first part of my third project. It's the theme for my sculpture. We were told to produce a sculpture of such dimensions:

This is what my sculpture looks like:

That's earth and fire

 

 And that's water and air

The reason why I chose the 4 elements as the theme for my sculpture is because my personality revolves around the 4 elements. Let's begin with fire. Fire portrays strength, bravery, wrath, and violence. I somehow lack in those features and therefore it's shorter in length compared to water and earth. As for water, it symbolizes calmness, patience, laziness, indifference and the ability to adopt to anything new.  Being me, I consider my personality compatible to water itself and therefore it's length is more than fire and air. The air represents independence, dishonesty and pretentiousness. Yes, the length is shorter than of water and earth as I rarely  posses those facet. Last but definitely not least, earth illustrates boldness, self-confidence, rebelliousness, hard-headedness. I've got an abundance of those traits and you would've probabaly guessed that it's longer than fire and air.
