For the past few weeks, we have been doing a project called, The Rube Goldberg Project. It is when you build a super complicated contraption to accomplish a simple task. The first part of this project was planning our Rube Goldberg by drawing a sketch.
Drawing my stretch was super hard and I struggled a lot with inspiration and creativeness. I didn’t really know what to use. After a long time, I started to think about what I could do. I wrote one step. Then I would think about what would go well after that. I started drawing the steps. I didn’t know what my final step would be but I just kept going.
I was scared that I would draw it wrong. I drew each step over and over to make it make sense to me. When I was tracing my first sketch with a sharpie. I messed it up and I made myself redo the entire sketch. My wanting to make it really good ended up making it really hard for me. The sketch was super hard because you had to think about how you make this work in real life.
I thought I would never finish it but then one day my brother really helped me. I ended up finishing 2 days before it was due. I was so happy when I finished. It felt like I got a huge weight off my shoulders.
This is how my sketch turned out
