(All pictures can be downloaded from 8th Grade Announcements Page)

What can we learn from trying to replicate the experience of these artists?
1) How difficult is this process?
2) How long does it take? And what were they NOT doing when they were making this art?
3) What techniques work and which do not?
4) What materials work best?
5) How and where did they obtain their materials?
6) What bonding agents kept the paint on the rocks in Mrs. N.'s garden for 15 years?
7) Contemplating theories for why this was done
