The owl is for my grandpa because he is wise and he looks over my family.The beaver is for my grandma because she is old, wise, and she is determined. The dolphin is for my dad because that is his favorite animal. The raven is for my brother because he is greedy and tricky. The whale is for my sister because her name is Ocean. The wolf is for me because I have loyalty and success. The bear is for my mom because she is the Momma bear. In the paragraph above there is the reasons I chose the animals I did. One problem was trying to get the animals to stay together in an Indian type form. Instead I just spaced them out a little bit. I am happy with my work because I think it looks ok because I used the native american colors. I think I picked the right symbols for the right people in my family. My favorite symbol is the dolphin or the wolf. Ethan and I helped each other out on our totem poles.

I made a dolphin because that is my dad's favorite animal. I also chose it because I thought it was the best animal that I made with cardboard.It is different from the cardboard because it does not have a native american vibe to it any more. It also looks way different from the painting on the cardboard. It was difficult morphing the head. It was also hard thinking of how to do it.At first I had a hard time trying to make the waves on the sides. Last I had a hard time trying to make the sky. I am happy with my dolphin. I am happy with it because people say it is good an I think my dad will like it. I am going to give it to my dad for a present.1
