Standards EvidenceMy original plan was to make Groot out of ONLY stuff from outside. Once I gathered all my things I went inside to put it together. But when I tried putting it together with twisty branches it was hard and kept falling apart so I decided to use some hot glue. I started with just single sticks and thought it looked to skinny so I decided to add sticks to the body to make it more fat. I was kind of stuck on how big to make the head. My mom gave me feedback on the head and said it would look better smaller so I made the head smaller and I thought it looked better. Artist StatementMy artwork is Groot. I made him out of small sticks, moss, bark, string and hot glue. It looks like a little man with bark all over his body. He has big black rock eyes, he also has a small piece of string for a smile. I started making the body out of one small stick, the stick had two other sticks attached to it already. I used the sticks that were already attached to the one stick as arms. And then wrapped twisty sticks on the arms. After I put two sticks on the middle part of the body. I hot glued them and wrapped them in sting. I then found a stick that had multiple sticks growing off it. I thought it looked like hands so I clipped it off the branch. And had two little hands for groot. I then started gluing pieces of bark and moss on the sticks. Once that was done I looked for a head. I peeled off a big piece of bark off a tree and used a knife to shape it into the head I wanted. I accidently cut my fingers twice making the head. Then I grabbed to little rocks from the driveway and put them on his face. After that, I added the string smile and glued the head onto the body. My big idea was to make Groot the best I could and look realistic. I was inspired by the movies Groots in, I like baby Groot the most he's so cute. Then I decided to use material limitation because I would be able to only use stuff from outside. Even though I cheated a little with the glue and string. I am overall happy with my artwork I think it's very cute. And it was really fun using a material I have never used.
