Significant Object Analysis Worksheet
A significant object is something made by a human. Another term for a significant object is an artifact. It can be something of historical significance or it can be something created today by a family member or your favorite performer. It can be any form of art or self-expression that has meaning to you. It can be anything that a human conceived of as art and deliberately crafted such
as the Lascaux cave paintings.
For this assignment, you are asked to identify and analyze a significant object. OBSERVE: Share your significant object or a link to your significant object in the space below. Include a description of the object and research on its background. For example, information about the creator, or artist. What was happening in the world or in your life when
this was made? Build on your main discussion post from this week. (150-200 words) *** Make sure to cite your sources by including a list of any outside sources of information you are using. Remember, research is always a good thing as it shows curiosity. Apply what you have learned about academic integrity by giving credit where credit is due.

story, does it tell about you? (150-200 words)
My classmates were able to empathize with several different objects with their chosen artifact. Some were even able to connect a song with their chosen painting from the Lascaux cave paintings, as I did. My significant object communicates with my life perspectives to my class because it allows me to show my daughter that it is never too late to accomplish anything in life. My story is that as a mother I have been through so much, but as my daughter's protector, she will never know my struggles. I show her that she always goes for what she wants even if she feels it is not attainable because strength, courage, and support desire a great future. Showing my daughter to achieve everything she wants and ensuring that
while doing so, she is enjoying her life. This song expresses my dedication to my daughter's well-being, our unbreakable bond, and our unconditional love.

Change Everything by Mark Rober technology has enhanced Rwanda lives for the better. Rwanda is an undeveloped country that could not promptly get medical supplies. Rwanda has
a lot of remote villages, and due to how far out it is from the closest medical facility, people were not getting the supplies they needed in a timely manner. Zipline-created gliding drones cover the longer distance to deliver critical medical supplies to countries with many remote villages, and Rwanda is one of the countries. Zipline continued to update their gliding drones now, retrieving medical supplies is more successful, and Rwanda has 88% in-hospital maternal mortality. With the technological advancement of Zipline, Rwanda can now retrieve its medical items within fifteen to twenty minutes.
