At the beginning of this project I had a very clear view in my head of what I wanted my project to look like. Over the course of four class periods, I painted the cups four different blues. After each class, my vision for the project became more and more real. I didn't think it would look as good in the beginning of the project, but now that I am able to see my vision become a reality and I can touch it, I am very pleased with the outcome.

As I worked on this installation, I observed my pieces after each work day and made observations. I didn't like my installation idea in the beginning of the project because I thought it would look sloppy. As I continued to paint the cups and as everything started to come together, I liked it more. The paint on the cups looked neat and it looked like I took my time.

This installation's main message that I wanted to convey is that water usage needs to be controlled. We waste 10,000 gallons of water each year just in our own households. (source: https://www.epa.gov/watersense/fix-leak-week) That is the main fact that I wanted to get across because if we do a little bit to make sure that we can save water, it can go a long way. People in other countries are dying because they don't have enough water and we are using it in abundance.

My vision for my installation project was very clear when I first had my idea. I wanted cups to come off of the wall to spell out "10,000" to represent how many gallons is wasted in each household per year. I also wanted them to be a gradient of different blues so it would catch your attention. The cups can represent water because that's what we normally drink out of. The blue colors also represent water because that is what color we think of when we think of water. As I worked on painting the cups and finishing the poster, my vision became a reality. It looks almost exactly as I imagined in my head.

In my installation project, I used engage and persist because it took me a while to finish the project and I felt like I would never get done. I kept painting the cups and I kept working hard and I made sure that I would finish by the due date time. The cups took me four class periods to grade and the poster took me two. I made sure that my installation would be finished on time and that it would look neat.

Throughout this installation project, I have learned to develop craft through paint and through painting on a different surface than usual. I had only previously had experience with painting on canvas or paper and now I had to learn how to paint on plastic cups. The cups are also see-through so I had to make sure that there weren't any spots that were more painted than others. Painting the cups took a lot of time. I painted 14 cups each class. So it took me 4 classes to paint all of the cups in total (56). I think that my project looks neat and finished as it is because of how I painted the poster and the cups.
