Today, we started Artists In Residence. We have Miguel, who is an artist. What we have to do, is make a sculpture based on a character in a book called "The Rainbow Serpent." It is a myth from Australia. The myth is about how things like lakes, trees, animals, plants, and bushes came about. We have 4 days to make a huge rainbow serpent using recycled items, such as plastic bottles, paper, and wire, although that is not a recycled item!
So far, we have planned about what items we are going to use, but we still need to work out where we will put the snake, as we want people to be able to see it.
I think a good idea of how we are going to make the snake, is this. First, we should get lots of plastic bottles, and take the lids off them, along with some plastic cut off the top. Then we should poke a hole in the other end, and thread wire though all of the bottles to make one long snake. The reason we should use wire, is so that the snake can be in a wiggly shape, not just straight.

Today it is Artist in Residence, We brain stormed about  a myth. And lots of people were planning on there myth and coming up with some Great Ideas. Miguel is one of the best artists, well not the best but one of the great drawers told us what we were supposed to do. tons of people where designing in there art books and some of them were looking at the recycling bottles and came up with the ideas with the body and stuff. We did a myth from a book called, "The Rainbow Serpent " It was from Australia. I drew a myth and brainstormed and  thought about the materials for the myth. I talked to my friend and we talked about our myths and great ideas we had in mind, After the conversation, we started to work.
 
We also had to figure out where to put it, We had to think of somewhere that is a very good place for people to see it. Some people thought of putting in the tunnel or the middle school, tomorrow we are coming back and doing the same thing.
