The numbers I rolled on the dice were for architectural, paper, & rhythm. I wasn't very pleased with my options, but I do like working with paper, so I went for it.
The colors of my piece were the colors that caught my eye. I love color beyond reason, so I took advantage of the construction paper supply. The colors reminded me of a peacock, so I played with the idea that I could actually make something that looked like a peacock.
At first I cut out all of the polka dots that make up the peacock. At the time, I just knew I wanted to do something with dots and something with the shape of peacock feathers. The feathers and flow of the dots give my piece two seperate rhythms, but there's rhythm there nonetheless.
I could not figure out how to make my piece architectural, but secretly the peacock's nest is a grand feat of architectural genius.

Great color and rhythm in this piece. Look carefully at your artwork on the post, this piece is really hard to see: the angle should have been straight on, you should always be parallel with what you are photographing and if you are unable to crop out the background, use something solid so not to distract the viewer (I have solid sheets in the classroom).
