• Summary about my idea: According to my references, I planned to use similar sizes and shapes to create patterns or symmetry, or use contrasting sizes and shapes to create visual tension or highlight differences. I do some explore on my daily seen object or scene to complete this task or make it as a aspiration or references. To finish this assignment or use it as an inspiration or reference, I conduct some research on the things or scenes I observe daily. 

• Then we are told to have some sketches for our findings and idea:
• A red ornament ball with hoya flower :  Its beautiful to decorate a Christmas tree with a ornament decorated with some flowers.

• Keyboard with chocolate: When you are exhausted with lots of typing maybe take a bite at a piece of chocolate to award yourself.

• Coffee with mirror: You can see your reflection in the crystal clear mirror coffee, so you don't have to worry about having coffee bubbles on the edge of your lips as you drink it.

• Leaf with ceiling fan: It is fun to have them combine, feeling like the wind of nature.

• Umbrella with pencil shavings: Pencil shavings looks similar to the arc of an umbrella, that will be a unique umbrella.

• Add levels

• Last but not least, add on the background color and done!
• DESCRIPTION: Since pencil shaving's substance is comparable to that used when the umbrella was constructed, I used it for the umbrella's arc and canopy. China employed bamboo sticks and animal hide or thatch to make the canopy and arc in the past. Similarly, pencil shaving is manufactured from wood, which is consistent with natural materials used in earlier eras.
