When I have done research on columns, I knew that I was going to be doing a Doric column.  I wanted to make a Doric column because I felt like that, if I did that, I would spark inspiration in other people. Some of the feature I had made was my ridges. I did not just want regular curved in ridges. I wanted ridges that would stand out from the rest. I decided to make my ridges stand out by making them spiky and even adding some with lines in them. Another feature of my column that I added was the curved in bottom. Again, I didn't just want some regular random bottom that just looked like everyone else's. What I did was to make a bottom that curve into the ground.

I made several changes on the way to my project. When I first started, I had a basic column. It had no ridges, no special curves or anything special. I wasn't really fond of it. I started over again from the beginning. I decided to add spiked ridges. I also added a curved bottom and a circular top. At that point, I felt that I had come close to my goals, but not close enough. I decided to make the bottom and top more congruent. I could have an even more unique column because the features would be different than most I have seen. Another one of my goals is that I would have liked to have a more slender column. I did not want to have such a thick column. I felt that I could improve the shaft of the column by making it more slender. I felt that it was too thick and could be a little bit more slender. By making that change, it would look more of a column. Another thing that I could improve on is the top part of my column. I felt like it was too basic and I could add more detail to make it distinc. I hope in the future I can continue on working my way up to success and learn how to make even more skilled columns.
