Today was an extended lunch block period spent outside where a lot of productivity took place. One of the main goals to shape up the mound of dirt into a more spiraled shape. Classmates got together to first break up the dirt. After this the dirt was able to be carved into a spiral shape. This specific shape is used to show the movement of the art installation. The class was able to finish the spiral mound of dirt as it shows the unity of the four classes of Hopkinton High School.
Like many other of the previous classes, another focus was to gather and cut branches. Some of the class was cutting larger stubs from a tree while others were cutting smaller branches into littler pieces What makes the task of cutting the tree stubs difficult is the thickness of the tree. It takes a long time and a lot of energy to manually cut the thick tree. Both the stubs and the branches are going to be used in the installation to show the different classes of HHS.
The last part of the period was mainly used for digging on the side of the hill. Digging on the side of the hill would help elongate the installation and make the art more noticeable from the road. Students used rakes and shovels to try and pry the grass and dirt away from the hill. By the end of the period the class was able to get a pretty decent chunk out of the hill. The installation is getting awfully close to the finish and it is looking more like art after every class.
