Thinking about our garden.....some ideas...

In case you have not heard, we are creating a garden here at Murch. I will be trying to get all classes involved in contributing somehow to this project. To begin, the 1st graders will make rock sculptures for the garden by painting boulders. If you see a boulder (head-sized to a bit smaller) please drop it off in the art room. We will need quite a few.


"Rock art is the oldest form of artistic expression known to the mankind. The first rock art dates thousands of years and it's found in many caves around the world. Nobody knows for sure if it was a form of communication or personalized ornaments to beautify the living quarters (caves). As the civilization progressed so did the rock art. No more cave painting, but actual rocks are used to paint different subjects like cats, dogs, pets. By adding a name or any text, or painting something dear to a person they became personalized ornaments."
