bonsai tree project
1. What does symmetry mean?
Symmetry means that one side of an organism/object is exactly the same as the other side.
2. An example of symmetry:
3. Provide an example of where in nature you can find symmetry, Why are objects symmetrical, what would be a benefit to being balanced/symmetrical as a human?
An apple from a tree may have symmetry in them. Objects are symmetrical because they need to maintain themselves and stand and move properly. The benefit for being symmetrical is that you can balance yourself and not face difficulties.
4. Describe the process of creating a rectangular prism. What did you do to plan prior to construction.
First, I measured the sides to make sure they are suitable for construction. Then, I finally taped them to form the prism. For my blueprints, I decided to lay out the pictures of the sides for my prism, which was what I was going to create.
5. What style of bonsai tree did you choose, and why did you pick that style?
I picked Semi-Cascade, because I think it is interesting in how it is formed.
6. How would someone know which style of bonsai tree you created? What characteristics illustrate which type of tree style you created?
Someone would be able to tell what style my tree is by looking at its shape. The characteristics are the following:
it tilts, it almost reaches all the way down, and it is stretched down.
7. The media/materials that were used were: wire, cardboard, papier mache, tissue paper, paint, and scrap paper. Out of all the materials that we worked with, which one was the most challenging for you to work with. Why did you find that material more challenging than the others?
Tissue Paper, because it was hard to rap it in the wire and make it stick on it.
8. How does your bonsai tree reflect personal choices that you made, and what makes your project unique to you?
Mine was unique because it had flowers growing on the bonsai tree and there is flat grass on the black soil.
