How can I help?

Hello everyone! I have been thinking a l about what I would like to do for my last piece of art and I feel I want to do something completely different than the last two pieces I've done. I have always known that the environment is crucial to our survival on Earth. The environment and what it provides is at the root of everything that humans have needed and produced on this planet. I feel that I was taking from nature for my own exploitation for the last two pieces so I thought, why not contribute to nature in a meaningful way with art? There were a variety of ideas I brainstormed but I felt the most realistic option was to build a bird feeder or a bird house. This way I can make an interesting art piece which also contributes to my local ecosystems. 

Here are some websites I checked out for different ideas:

I've decided that the project I am most interested in will be a bird house because I can contribute more creativity to it and birds can always find food, but sometimes its hard to find a place to stay for the night! For materials I am going to need wood, wood working tools, and paint to decorate it! This will likely be a challenging project because I do not know how to use wood working tools and I am bad with precise measurements. So to avoid losing a finger to this project, I'm going to work on this project with my dad! He has had lots of experience building things, plus art is always more fun when you do with other people :) This is the kind of bird house I am looking at doing:

It is simple but takes a lot of concentration and skill (plus I'm going to add lots of colour to it!) so I am looking forward to how it turns out. Stay tuned for how it goes :)
