The Seed Sprouts

It's nice to see this Vincentian gARTen blog is up & growing.
You may have noticed that I've made some changes to the
look of the blog. It's quite simple to do with the new Blogger.

Blogger uses a WYSIWYG editor which is as easy to use
as creating a document in Microsoft Word. It's easy to
change the size and color of text. Add photos, hyperlinks
and embed video.

You can find useful tutorials from Blogger and more help

Assignment: What Sustains You?

The theme for the Vincentian gARTen is sustainability. Here is a link to a wikipedia definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainability
We have discussed in our first few days, of what sustains us individually and how we can express that visually on the copper leaves of the metal water sculpture. These leaves will be accompanied by words or a quote that will serve to inspire others who view this artwork.

Link to definition of sustain: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sustain

Explain what sustains you and what about it that gives you support.

Include a an inspirational quote, verse or saying that you would include as a part of the gARTen water sculpture.

You will be graded by one or more of your teachers by the depth of your answer.

-Jan Loney

I am so excited to work with Jan Loney in our new gARTen. I think it's cool that my grade has the opportunity to be working on the first piece for the foundation of the legacy gARTen. :)
