Memorial Golf Tournament

Day 1

Well my idea was to try and make something that had represented the memorial golf tournament. This was significant to me because Dublin is very well known for this golf tournament, I also chose to do this because I have been going to the tournament every year since I was four. I based my idea off of the second picture. I mad the sticks to try and replicate golf clubs because I couldnt make the trophy in the middle. Then the leaves going around it clearly represent the leaves around the trophy. I made this on the walkway up to my front door step. I know there isnt a lot of materials being used and its not to colorful because all the leaves are dead now butttttttttttttt I got all of the materials in my front yard.

Day 2

On day two the leaves that had gone around the "golf clubs" were blown away. The good thing though is that some of the leaves stayed and that the "golf clubs" were still perfectly fine.

Day 3

On the third and final day all the leaves had been completely blown away. There was not one even left on the walkway. I guess the sticks were definitely heavy enough  to with stand the winds because they hadn't move the whole time throughout this process.

Sanctuary

Day 1

In my sculpture I used the meanings of the different plants around my backyard to symbolize different parts of my personality. The rose hip in the very center is for joyfulness.  The queen Anne's lace around it is sanctuary as in my inner piece of mind.  Around that is pine which symbolizes my strength both physically and mentally.  Around the pine is just some decorative leave from a bush I found.  The poplar leaves around that, however, symbolizes my sometimes lack of self confidence and loneliness, as well as my more bright side like artistic nature, organization and reliability.  Around that is oak leaves that symbolize the strength of my outside but on the inside I'm not so strong.  But on the very outer, the honeysuckle, symbolizes my affection and love for those I care about.  All the elements were found in my backyard including the stump!

Day 2

Oh no I got my feet in the shot!  Well on day two the wind blew most of the sassafras leaves off of the outer ring but the rest of it still seems pretty much in tact!

Day 3

Well the wind blew away more of the leaves that's for sure.  Other that that the poplar leaves and queen Anne's lace have begun to shrivel up.  I'm surprised on how well it's stayed in tact for the past 3 days!
