Before starting our team projects, each student presented their idea and as a class, we voted and narrowed it down to a few projects so that everyone could choose which group they wanted to be a part of. The project I presented was not chosen as a group project which worked out to my benefit as I could then use my project proposal for my final individual project. That being said I joined a group that I had not worked with anyone in the group prior to this project which I thought would be good for me. While doing a project I let everyone else take the lead and I just was a little taskmaster.

Originally, we started by creating a structure out of tall orange reflective steaks in the ground. We connected these by using bright colorful zip ties. From here we were trying to come up with something that would hold up with the outdoor elements so we created circles out of clear plastic tubing of various sizes. We used white duck tape to seal off the circles and then used bright neon-colored zip ties to connect the circles to then create a blanket-like structure to drape over the top of our foundation made by the steaks.

I think that this project turned out to be very interesting looking. The color zip ties I feel made the piece look much cooler. Without these colors, I feel that the project would be entirely different.
