XEROX project

My Xerox project is one of my favorite projects I created in this class so far. It did not take me a while to complete this project, and it was fun to make. I took a bunch of pictures of my hand using the app "PDF Scanner". I thought not having a Xerox machine would greatly effect my project, but I thought the app worked pretty well. I may have accidentally used $10.00 printing out so many pictures of my hand, but it was easy enough to print the pictures and cut them out in class. Class was also cool because I got to cut out pictures during class time, and not in my off time that I could have spent studying. My project is meaningful to myself in a few ways. I cut out a bunch of hands, and then placed them on a plate, instead of the poster board I had brought to class. I wanted to use an object for more of a visual effect. The plate, represents my life. A large plate to represent all of the responsibilities, difficulties, problems, struggles, disadvantages, and obstacles I face. I used all of the pictures of my hand I took to represent all the people in my life that help me, have helped me, or will help me in the future. When I think about all these hands, I think about my family, friends, peers, professors, guides, and people in my life who have assisted me, even in the slightest way, but because they reached out their hand, they made my life just a little but easier, a little more happier, and and little more healthier. Without all these hands in my life I know I wouldn't be where I am today. I am blessed to be able to go to college in such a beautiful place, and even when I feel lonely away from my friends and family all the way back in New Jersey, I think about how close these people's hand really are to me. I made the middle hand yellow to represent the light that people shine for me to help me grow and guide me to be a better person.
