The image we decided to use was the Eiffel Tower at night time. We decided to use triangles and squares when recreating it because we saw those shapes more prominent in the design of the building. Plus, those shapes give it a more rigid, more slender, and more chic look. Since the tower has spaces and isn’t solid, we decided the abstract gluing of the squares and triangles depicted it best. The other group responded to ours by guessing it, but after careful consideration. One said a rock concert, which I could see. I think, if we had another chance, we would make it bigger, that way it has more of a tower feel. We just made the tower too big for the paper we were using! All in all, though, I think we did a good job of accomplishing the Eiffel Tower with construction paper and shapes.
