Imagine a sculpture





The best part about imagination is that there is no right or wrong, there isn't a beginning or an end and there certainly no limit. My creative word is imagination that I will be incorporating into my sculpture. According to brainyquote.com, imagination is defined as "the representative power; the power of reconstruct or recombine the materials furnished by direct apprehension; the complex faculty usually termed the plastic or creative power".

As you can see in the picture I didn't build my sculpture alone. I had the handy help of my creative niece. A little description of my, or I should say Our sculpture is we designed a comfort home for our fellow Gerbil, named Dice. We used a keelex box, tissue and scrap paper that we found to create a sofa, t.v and a kitchen for Dice. We took our reality and converted it into an imaginary setting for Dice.

The best part of this activity is that I did it with my niece. We both had many ideas and were excited to get started. It first started with just a chair for Dice but our imagination took over. This reminds me of all the homes i build for my stuffed animals when I was younger. I remember getting so excited to build it that I didn't want to touch it when I was done, in case of ruining it. The difference this time was my niece and I did end up playing with the new home we built. Practicing this with other children I find would be really fun. The children I worked with have soo much imagination and creativity to build their own sculpture.
