  1. The variety of pieces that you chose for this project is great. I also really liked the pots and pans piece, I think it's a really creative way to do a landscape. The sabres exhibit was also really neat because that is such a big piece of history and part of our culture here in Buffalo.

  2. Each of your examples are all interesting pieces of art. I related the hockey photo right away to Buffalo because of the blue and yellow that he is wearing. The model of the structure also caught my eye as it gave a real insight into how life used to be and what primitive architecture looked like.
