This alien name project was without a doubt one of my favorites from the semester because during this project I got to think like a little kid would in order to create a beautiful alien from a different planet. To start the project, I took a square piece of paper, folded it in half, drew my name in bubble letters and then cut along the outer lines. When I opened up my name it created this crazy-fun alien body design. When I saw the shapes of my letters together I immediately thought of an octopus type creature so right then I knew that my alien had to live on an underwater planet. To achieve this look, I gave my alien four tentacles, a connected, sweeping leg to move around on and a huge mouth for eating other underwater creatures. However, I didn't want my alien to be just any normal octopus-like alien so I covered his entire body with cut up pom-pom balls to create the look of fur and used felt to embellish his mouth, eyes and suction cups. I had so much fun designing this alien and his habitat that it didn't feel like homework at all! Instead, I was just an elementary kid myself re-living the wonderful glory days.
