My action word is drop. The dictionary meaning of this word is let or make something fall vertically.
The object I choose is egg, as I like to eat them. I eat an egg everyday. In my opinion eggs are all fragile and if I drop them they will break very easily.  My idea is that how can I drop an egg without breaking it. So I designed an egg drop project.
Here are the steps:

Brain Storm

When I am thinking about my final project, I have no idea about it. There is no topic I really want to talk about. The  micro projets I did this semester were all assigned theme and with instructions. When doing a final project of what ever I want makes me mind goes blank.

Before I took this class, I have no idea about art. After taking this class, I learnt that art is everywhere and all I need to do is just to find it. I think about the half year time I spend in USA, and found that make a project about the trip to Orlando would be a good idea. I probably make video about this trip and use some photos took by myself. The night view of the castle was awesome, I still remember it until now.

Failure Statement

My biggest failure this semester is probably micro project 2. In this project I need to make a map that shows my unique journey to class. In this project, I take pictures of my way to classroom and put them on the google map. I try to use GPS tag to locate them on the google map automatically, but I failed to do that. I searched on google about how to do this, but it does not work. So I just put the picture on without GPS tag. I thought I could do better if I know how to do this. And this technique is interesting. If I acquire this technique, I could put all the photo I took on the map. When I look at the photo, I know exactly where I took them and which city I have travelled and which not. 

I keep trying to learn this technique. Finally I know how to do it. 

My biggest success this semester is micro project 4. In this project I need to manipulate the sound to give a sense of place in 1 minute. I use the sound on Lane Ave and add some special sound and manipulated them in garage band. When I listen to these sound I know I am on the Lane Ave and these sound are really interesting. The thing I learnt from this success is that art exists everywhere in our life. It is just outside and inside your house, all you need to do is to find it and show them to others in a particular way.

I would like to redo my micro project 2 if I could.  I would add GPS tag and try to reflect more elements about myself. Make it a more personal map.
