Sound Sculpture Reflection

One thing I like about my sound sculpture is how the egg cracks and the chick comes out. I think it turned out well and that part looks good.

One aspect I do not like so much in my sound sculpture is how some of the pictures with the boy have a not so smooth edge on the table. I think I could have spent more time fixing that.

If I could do this again, I might find some sounds to go with the expression of the boy. Like when he is disgusted at the end he could be saying eww or something.
