Play-Doh Activity

This is the sculpture I created with the Play-Doh that was assigned to me. I attempted to build a trophy and I would say it turned out better than I expected. This item/molded piece of material might just look like a regular object but the overall image it projects into my mind is far more greater in significance than any other thing in my present day life. The idea behind a trophy is it can be acquired through hard work after accomplishing a task. This item signifies success which implies the owner of it has been successful in that specific moment in their life. Success means a lot to me because i’m always striving to be the best I can be in anything I do so when I am handed a trophy, I feel as if I have accomplished something great. A classmate showed me their creation and while glancing upon what everyone else created I found that everyone had different interests and things that impacted they’re lives. Her creation was a smiley face with a tear on it presenting emotions as an essential part of her life that were valued and drives her to be the best version of herself. This activity is very similar to the writing process in a variation of ways. One of these ways is the brain storming process, you might have something planned out in your mind but when you actually spell it out and don’t like how it came out, you have to erase it and start over again. This related to the play-doh activity because I had certain image that I was attempting to create but when I molded the play-doh, I found out that I didn’t quite like what I  had created so I took it apart until I was able to successfully project my envision onto the mold. This example goes for everything, the overall structure of a piece of work might be great but adding those small changes like greater purposeful words that capture what your trying to get the reader to understand, could be the final key to making the body of words well respected. While I felt very highly about my creation I could see that my classmates also did which made me learn that priority’s are different in everyone’s life story but accomplishing them happily made us bond and learn that despite our differences, we all share similar values.
