The building

We had started making it. We first started with a path to a black thing in the snow.It was a lot of work to make it. We shoved it all out. We made sure it was wide enough to walk in with two of us.



















Here is the path being built.


Then we had to measure the plot thingamajig and finish making the path for us to walk on.















Measuring the plot thingamajig












Here is the plot thingamajig when we messed up.






















What we had to change to make it work.

Land/earth art



This is the planing stage of our Land/Earth art. We will be doing this in our school court yard. 1 of them. I'm gonna be doing this with Dillion and Sara. this should turn out good.


What is art? What isn't art?

We are doing an art project that is called struggle. And What is Art and What isn't art. We are doing this to say what we think is art to us and what isn't art to us. (US = The class)
To me art is: Sculpture, and paintings. To me what isn't art is the art of war, and tracing (Copying). In the next Parts I will explain all this to you.


What is Art
This is what I think is art. I will tell you about it all and why I think it is art. people show what is important and their creative side when they do any type of art.
1) Sculptures. 2) Paintings.

I think Sculptures are art because, the people use there own personality and creative side to make a sculpture. Also the people who build them take there time and put a lot of time, sweet, and blood into making it. Also You can tell that the have a lot of passion into what they make and how they make it.

I think Paintings are art because, The people want to teach you something about their time. Also kinda tells you about their experience's that they have. And they also put a lot of pride into their painting.


What isn't Art

This is what I think is not art. I will tell you why I think this is not art is the next section. Also why I Think this is not art at all.
1) the art of war. 2)tracing (Copying).


I think THE ART OF WAR is not art because, It is only the rules and old strategies of past wars and other things of war. Also it is a book that is a rule book. This is a link to see the art of war. http://classics.mit.edu/Tzu/artwar.html

I think Tracing or Copying is not art because, It is taking someone else's art work and saying it is yours. It is frowned upon by every single person. It is also saying you did it when someone else did it.

culminating task pt5

I will try my best to work on it as hard as I can. I don't know how much I can get it done. But it will be hard to do. I'll probily have to work on it after school lets out so I can have more time. I'll try my hardest to work on it in class. I'll even see if I can work on it during another class so I can get it done in time. I'll even do some of it on the summer break. This is all for you all.

culminating task pt4 (more explanation)

Here is a more good explanation on ruk-shuk.








Players race against the clock to build different Rukshuk rock formations and score as many points as they can.
Game cards reveal different Rukshuk formations, bonus points and rules.
Skill, luck and strategy determine who scores the most points and wins!



Here are the rules: 

  • Each player selects seven game rocks from the pouch.
  • Game rocks are worth different points based on their ‘stack-ability’.
  • Players score regular and bonus points by using the rocks to build all or part of the Rukshuk formation shown on the game card in 60 seconds or less.
  • If a player’s Rukshuk formation topples before time expires, he must quickly rebuild it.
  • When time runs out, players use the score pad to tally the points from their formations.
  • Once scores are counted the players select new rocks, turn over the next card and build a new Rukshuk


  • Hoped this helped you understand more about it.
