My goddess is the Goddess of Celebration. She represents the 21st century values because everyone is under a lot of pressure from society to do well and she helps us to relax and enjoy ourselves. My goddess is wearing a graduation cap and gown, holding a diploma and is jumping in the air. Graduation is one of the most celebrated occasions and the “jump and freeze” pose is well known from the popular Disney Channel Original Movie High School Musical as an indicator of celebration. In this project, I learned that when transferring a photo to a larger sheet of paper, it helps to divide both papers into quadrants and to start with the bigger shapes and then to work on the details. I learned to use the ruler to make boxes for each of my letters so that the spacing is even and to draw text guidelines to make sure my writing is not slanted. I also used how to use and exact-o-knife to have more precision than normal scissors allow for. My art-making skills have grown from this project because I have learned to keep my handwriting neat even if I have to write in a large font. I have learned to use an exact-o-knife.
