Last Tuesday, I went to the beach with my friends, Naiara, Enara, Eneritz, Illare and June. We went to that beach to find some marine debris. We found sticks, rocks, plastics, rubbish, leaves… And we took them with us for the piece of art we'll make in the future.

This trip was very relaxing because we also spent some time playing with the water and the rocks. We also played some music, most of the songs were by Taylor Swift. Finally, we spent more time than what we had expected.

The idea of this piece of art is the tree of life because it can be taken in many different ways. I thought I could do a tree because of the materials I found, mostly leaves. My aim for this project is to do something pretty and abstract.

For the tree of life I'll use these materials:

Leaves

Rocks

Wood sticks

Little shells

Cardboard

Rope

At first, I thought I could do a tree with the materials I had, but when I started doing the piece of art… things didn’t go as I planned. Instead, I decided to do a tree but laid on cardboard so the initial design didn’t get done. When I finished doing the sculpture, I didn’t like the final result because it looked dirty because of the glue and I decided to paint it. When I started to paint it, I gave it my personal sign.

Now I have a beautiful tree which is composed of some rocks, shells, sticks, cardboard and leaves. Each leaf has a meaning. The one in the center, symbolizes the bottom of my motivation, the things I love, and from there, get out other sticks which have different leaves representing the different things I love. Starting from the left side we have the first leaf representing my friends, I think they’re very important. The second leaf represents my family and it is the bigger one between the five leaves. The next, the one in the middle, symbolizes my hobbies, singing, rowing, playing the guitar and the piano… The little one next to the last one represents music. Music has always been something that has accompanied me anywhere. And the last one symbolizes my country, the Basque Country, because before a dream is a feeling.

In this project, we started to think about the oceans that get polluted for our fault. The debris is a little piece of something bigger. At first, we didn’t have enough enthusiasm, but in the end we had a lot of fun.

In the first step, we went to the beach. It was weird to have to collect things coming from other materials or people. The funniest part was me and my friends listening to Taylor Swift. After that we had to draw what we had done, take some pictures, write about what we did and record ourselves, again, explaining what we did. We had a great time.

In the second step we had to start thinking about what we were going to do. We had to think about it very carefully because we had to use all the material we collected and try not to use anything else, otherwise, our qualifications could get worse. This time we also had to do the same as I said in the second step. We had to draw what we had done, take some pictures, write about what we did and record ourselves explaining what we did.

The third step got fused with the fourth step, so we had to start making the piece of art. My piece of art wasn’t that spectacular for the others, but I liked it because it had my essence and was mostly dominated by the color green, which is my favorite color. It had its complications, because at first I thought of doing something that I couldn’t do in the end. This time, we also had to draw what we had done, take some pictures, write about what we did and record ourselves explaining what we did. We were, more or less, prepared to go to Zaldupe.

The 12th of June, we finally went to Zaldupe. The fact that we had to talk to 9 year old children was relaxing, because they didn’t know english as much as we know. When we got there, we were desperate, nobody came to us but we had our friends in front of us, because we were divided in groups, so we had some fun. Later, the kids started to come to us, it was cool, and every time a new group came to us I got so excited and I tried to do my best so they could understand.

In conclusion, I can admit that we had some fun. I think that at first, I didn't like the project, but if we had any other traditional homework I wouldn’t like it either, and that’s because I’m a little bit lazy. In my opinion, the best part was working with my friends and classmates and doing the piece of art.
