This was my first graphic that I did for my 12 Twigs. It was very simple and it was also my first idea that I had.

Issue's with 12 Twigs

This will be the third time that I have changed my idea for my 12 twigs. Going through the critiques really help me to think about what I have produced and what I could do differently. My first idea I just did not like, I did not think my idea was good enough for my twigs. My second idea was okay, it reminded me of a canoe, but I felt as if I were building with twigs rather than making a special place for them. Finally, I have come up with my third, and hopefully last idea. I chose different twigs that were of a similar appearance, semi straight, and same color. They also kind of reflect my personality, I also think they are pretty. I had some trouble choosing the best color in which to accent my twigs. The colors came down to painting the cardboard black or white, and I have chosen white. We will see what the outcome is, but it is a surprise for you! If I decide to change anything else, or have any more problems I will be sure to blog them!

*Theory Hour*

Today in theory hour, John Lynn was our speaker. The featured topic was Architecture in 2030. He not only taught us how to build sustainable buildings but also how to restore the buildings that already exist. It is important to keep the buildings we have now to be able to restore them instead of just starting fresh with everything. He also talked about how it was important to build carbon neutral buildings. In order to do this, you would need to use solar panels as well as recyclable materials. This would produce less carbon within the air which would help to stop global warming. It would also produce better health for human beings. When constructing a building, he mentioned that it was important to make it where it can still be used 130 years from now. John Lynn also talked about the LEEDS program in which he mentioned the Aproximenty Hotel. Sustainability is a process which we have heard every speaker say so far this year. It takes time, effort, and patience. In doing all of this, we are making the world a better place to live. It is not as healthy as it once was, and neither are we. Since we have been the one’s to destroy the innocent Earth, we too are the ones who can begin to make a change.
