Today we did a gallery walk to start off humanities. Since ours was outside in the cold we figured before hand that not many would want to come out to look. Since we figured that was going to happen we decided not to have people come out and look, and instead got the chance to check out what other people are doing. We were able to just get around to almost everyone when the gallery walk was over. But a group of freshman came and we were able to show our work to one person. Looking back it at I wish we would have not looked at others and stayed and had people come look outside, because we could have gotten feedback and suggestions. Although one thing I noticed is people were more taking this as an exhibition and not a gallery walk for refinement. What I mean is from what I was able to hear and noticed people just looked at the projects, said what they liked and moved on. I wish we could have told them to give us critique and stuff.
Since the last blog entry we have completely finished weeding and have it all in the trash!!! That is all we have been working on since Wednesday for two hours each day. The way we brought all the weeds from the amphitheater to the trash can was a sweet rig which I will explain and show pictures. On Monday we had finished weeding but needed a way to bring all the weeds to the trash. We solved this by using our PAPER skills and adapted to what we had. We found an old computer cart with four wheels and a big piece of plywood we laid on top. We then would pile as many weeds as two people could carry on the plywood and then lift that and put it on the computer cart, which we would then wheel over to the big trash can and put all the weeds in there. Below is a picture of our rig. Also Kyle emailed us back and gave us info about doing a french drain. We don't think we can do the french drain because of time constraints and money. But he did draw a helpful diagram if we do.
The only problems we had we loading up to many weeds on the cart (picture provided). Also time is our main enemy and problem right now because we will have to put in the pipe and move gravel next week. We may have to spend time after school working on it to finish. Our next step is to order the gravel and pipe which will arrive at the school over spring break which we will then start early tuesday morning and start cranking out putting it all together. Hopefully if all goes well we will finish just within the time given.
