This is a picture of the plants that have been planted a couple years ago, I believe. As you can see in this picture, there are plants like weeds, flowers, & much more. This is a community garden for Valleywood.

Here is what our garden looks like in early spring at the beginning of our class this year. Notice how many fewer stones are in this shot than in the picture in the header.

The blooming tree of life that is awesome!!!

My art piece has tiles and it’s made from concrete. The stone I made has tiles. They are pink, white, and purple and it’s shaped like a bird. Landscaping is a fun project so I’ve enjoyed it a lot. My art is about nature. My piece stands for nature. It is a nature like project that is absolutely floral. And my name is Kiyah .

My name is Will. I like art and technology. When you put technology and art together, you have Techno Art. I enjoyed very much working outside in the garden. My job was to water the plants. I also liked making my cement- concrete tile. I used different shapes, like, circles, hearts, leaves and different colors. I am very happy to know that this garden will be here at Valley wood forever. Many future students will enjoy it. Thank you for all your help.

My design was messed up but my design was flowers made out of glass.
If you make your pieces to small then your concrete design will be messed up.

The nature of my design is the moon in the sky. The artist that inspired me was Georgia O’keefe because she is a wonderful artist and her artwork really inspires me. When I was thinking of what I should do I saw the moon and I said I was going to my design on the moon.

My tile is a mosaic style. i was not influenced by anyone. I used rocks, stain glass, glass dots, and lots of other things too. I used contact paper to stick the stuff to and then i put it on the bottem of the mold and poured the concreate on top. I really like my tile i hope You do too.My tile is just a cool idea i came up with in my head. It is a circle and it looks kind of like a firework. I had the rocks covered in cement then i uncovered it by hitting it with a hammer. It was really fun and im glad i got the chance to do this.

My tile is a circle that has imprints of footprints to make it look like people have walked over it. I used three different colors to stain it. The idea originated from when famous people put their hand-prints in front of new buildings in concrete. I then thought it would be cool to do that with footprints. But not just two nest to each other would be b then I thought, it'll oring, andlook cool if it has footprints all over it. I didn't go all out and put prints everywhere, but it still looks cool. So I took some old shoes I had and pressed them into the tile after it was almost dry. Imprinting is my favorite technique be cause it requires more hands-on work.

I am going to tell you about our tiles. We were inspired by Georgia O'Keefe and Frank Lloyd Wright. My tile is a mosaic with flowers and hearts in it. Georgia O'Keefe worked a lot with flowers and nature so we had to look at a lot of each of the artist's work to get ideas. First, we had to get our ideas for a design. Then we had to create our design. Then with my design, I had to put my shapes on sticky paper. When I got ready to pour I had to put my design on the table then we poured the concrete over it then smoothed it out.
