You are going to be learning about rocks. Rocks can be different shape, color,and size too. I made a turtles with my rocks. I used the big rock for the body. Next i used the tiny rocks for the water. Then i used two thine rocks for the fines. Lastly I used two rock for the shell and the tail too. The reason why i chose to make turtles with rocks was because i love turtles and in storm king art center there is a Marine biologist art where the artist did a ocean with the sea animals and there was trash like now in the ocean.

Last and final question If you were a human what would you do ?

I would be landing on saturn's moon&#160;

I sometimes like it because I get to see the birds.

Me: The first question I have is what birds do you like? Rocks: We like Hummingbirds bluebirds and Peacocks and parrots. Me: The second question I have is What is your favorite weather? Rocks: Our favorite weather is sunny because we don't get cold.

AMARI ROBERTSON THIS is what my rocks thinks

Title: Special Cave I was inspired to do this by Martha Tuttle. This is my rock cave. These are my rocks that I got from school. I used 8 rocks to make my cave. Two of them look brown, one flat and black , five shiny and white. The medium size rocks for the bottom. Then two small ones for the middle and a flat one for the roof. Then I used some small one for decorations for the top. I left a opening so you could see inside. I made me cave because it reminds me of a movie I watched. They lived in a cave. I liked the way they made the caves look different. Just like some houses look different in size and shape. My cave is made of different size and color rocks.

The unique line is a line of big rocks, small rocks and medium size rocks.The rocks are different colors and different shapes. Some of these rocks are orange or white some even has moss on them.My title is called unique line because it's a line of different kinds of rocks.

Rocks also have some similarities to planets. As you can see I took this picture from outside my house. The reason that I took the picture from outside my house is that wanted the rocks to be in their natural habitat. Even though the rocks aren't alive, I wanted it to be in its natural environment so if it were alive it would be more comfortable there. Also, I used a dozen or more rocks to make this line of rocks.

I picked these rocks from my backyard. I picked the most unique rocks because I want this project to be special. The picture that I put below of the rocks shows the big ones are at the bottom and the small ones are at the top. The small ones are at the top because I think when a sculpture contains balance it looks better but overall all sculptures are great! :)

The teachers of the Unlimited Horizons Program at Horizons on the Hudson Elementary School would like to thank the Storm King Art Center for its unwavering support of our partnership, in particular Victoria Lichtendorf, Ellen Grenley and Kristin Roeder. We would also like to thank Martha Tuttle for her creativity and vision, which inspired all of our students.

This is my rock cairn I tried to make it look like a rock statue like the picture below

I think that most rock cairns love where they're at some rock cairns are high and that's why some rocks don't like their position

A question I would ask my rock is Do you want a new position?

rock cairns can be skinny wide high and small they can also be found underwater too

over time rock cairns can also fall over by wind

My Rock Formation. By: Autumn Christine Ramaglia

This picture shows my rock formation on a piece of pinkish red construction paper. I decided to do this because I wanted to emphasis my design of a heart and what it represents. 

I was inspired to make this formation because I like hearts and they really make my day. Of course they are decorative, but they also have a lot of personality and meaning. Hearts are amazing! Your heart is what keeps you alive. They help you grow, stay healthy and most importantly...make you feel wonderful things!

The pictures you see on the right, are what I used for inspiration during this project. Their designs are beautiful but also jewelry reminds me of love and how we give those we love something special.  

I shouldn't have left my family in the volcano!

Gallery.pdf

As you can see here I have done this art by stacking my rocks and putting one little rock on the bottom side like Martha Tuttle did.

When you look at the rocks closely you will see there is a slight difference about the rocks one rock is colored white and the others are colored brown like normal rocks and that is because the white rock looks like it is a Igneous Rock&nbsp;and Igneous Rocks are made out of lava or magma and that is what makes this type of rock special.

Rock Pictures

As you can see here I made a sculpture out of ice that someone showed me how to do with tinfoil,water,and a rock.

Meditation If I was a tree and got cut from my mother, I would be sad.

Explanation I make my cairn on a table, on a stone. My cairn's rocks are cool, balanced, and shiny. The rocks are cool like cold and they are good to work with.

i am very old and very historic like every other old rock

Rocks are extraordinary they come in different shapes, sizes, and colors, rocks have many similar traits to planets. I picked out some rocks with colors red, brown, blue, pink, grey, and black. Some rocks are crystallized like Saturn that looks like it has crystals on it's ring, and stars look like rocks in an ocean because of how little the stars are compared to the universe and how they have spread across the universe and some may even create a pattern or a consolation across the sky. I decided to make my own consolation or planets with rocks.

My rock cairn always thinks about being the tallest of the five

Explanation I arranged them on a table with brown paper to look more like a craft, and less in nature. For the tallest one, I put the shiniest rock on the bottom. The rock was also the biggest, and could support all the other rocks. For the one with two balanced on top of each other, I wanted it to look like a turtle. The top rock was the shell, and the bottom rock was the body. I called this one Turtle. For the one that look like a pair of steps, I put one rock almost on top of the other to resemble stairs

My Cairn by Gus

Meditation It thinks why am I so small and why is there rocks on me?

Explanation I arranged my cairn here because it was the best spot I had, it was easier to take a picture there and it had good lighting. My cairn is dull, short, bumpy and small.

I made this because it make me want to dance.

https://api.bookcreator.com/users/v2/CmCdaCmKAMdojoVFhjXYi0XhLAr1/books/BGffJlEYSzOc0uBFnmE4EA/assets/IhAwjUzSScmptRXbavl8xA.jpeg?width=760&height=503

I chose my rock to look like this because it reminds me of summer.

My rock carin loves it here!

And I like the floor because its smooth too.

What does a stone think about? by Ms. Hoffman's Class

Bright ideas border

Thank you for inspiring us through your brilliant work.

I think about them a lot, but the other rocks in my cairn are like a second family!!!

how do you feel about being separated from rocks like yourselves?

what would you act like if you were human?

I want to be clean and not dusty!

I made it like this because it kind of looks like a face.

&nbsp;The Pyramid Support: My inspiration is the pyramids that they made in Egypt. The pyramids were created about 5000 years ago! The pyramids I made were made yesterday. I stacked them up the way I did to make them look like pyramids, but I also stacked them up like that because I wanted to make it look like the other rocks were helping the little rock feel big and strong and tall.&nbsp;Let's talk about the placement, as you can see the rocks on the sides are supporting the rocks on the bottom, what I mean by that is that if the rocks on the top get wobbly it can at least hold up the bottom rocks so the rocks on top arent so wobbly.&nbsp; The title “Pyramid Support” was inspired by people and pyramids. How are they inspired by humans, you ask? Well, first it's about some people support/help other people, like how the bigger rocks are helping the small rock feel bigger. I also made it look like a pyramid. Pyramids symbolize wealth and power. This concludes my project for Storm King, I hope you enjoyed this writing piece!

I was careful stacking these and i even took notes on them and here's a video of me describing the rocks i have

A rock cairn...a humble stack of rocks, a thing of beauty, a cause for hope. 

Mrs. Zouhairi's 4th Grade Unlimited Class SKAC Project 2020-2021

Well i miss my best friend lava made&#160;but i have new friends like you.

So rock do you have any friends from where you came?

Antique paper texture

Hayden Ramos I chose to arrange my rocks like this because to me it looks like the gold rock is the king and there are other rocks that are his guards and servants. The rock that brings his kingdom to life is the front rock that looks like a heart.The heart rock is called the crystal heart.The bigger rocks are in place for it to be the King's throne. And all around it the small rocks Guard him so nobody can take place of the throne unless they are recalled to when the king passes.I think that my rock form is very unique because all of my rocks are different and one of them is in a shape that I've never seen before because one of them is a heart. And another one is perfectly round another one is gold and some of them are clear but all of them are unique just like how I think of myself and my personality. At first I didn't know what to do but once I started arranging more of the rocks I figured out how I wanted to put it and that's how I thought of making my creation.Also a movie called Sharkboy and Lavagirl helped me figure out what the heart would be for because in the movie they try to get the crystal heart so that's how I knew what to do for the heart rock.

Meditation Bottom rock: "I think I look like a man with a tall hat."

Explanation I put it on a giant lego brick because I thought it would be funny to put it on one.I think my cairn is a real balancing act. Some rocks are smooth and some are rough, my cairn is really opaque.

Meditation I am tall just like the pencil in DC.

Explanation My cairn looks like a tower with a pointy rock at the top. I built it on my parents' bed with a pink background. I had a piece of pink construction paper. I was inspired by the color of the construction paper.

How do you benefit others mentally and physical?

____________________________________________________________________________________

Well, it depends on the person you talk to. Some people will say that I'm just a rock and cannot help anyone however others believe I can benefit them spiritually. Believe it or not, some people place amethyst under their pillows when they sleep. They think that I will protect their dreams from nightmares. Others carry quartz and other crystals with them. They believe it will protect them wherever they go. So in conclusion, it all depends on the person you speak to.

Me: What would you act like if you were a human? Dayshon: Well, I would act like I'm a bodyguard to my Queen Ms.Crystal. Me: One more question how would you protect Ms.Crystal ? Dayshon: I can be by Ms.Crystal's side at all times and serve her in the type of way that can make her trust me and can count on me to do whatever she needs. I will also make sure that she will always have a clear path so that she doesn't get injured and hurt by anyone.

Meditation "Why are these big rounds surrounding the little rocks?"

Explanation I built the cairn on my crafting table. I built it there because it was a nice spot for me to take the pictures. The rocks are holding hands together.

Well sometimes i do because then humans are interested in me and that means im unique but sometimes just like you humans i like my privacy too!

Hey rock! Do you like to be admired by humans? Why or why not?

I used the rocks from Storm King Art Center and rocks from my fish tank. I put the big rock at the bottom and the small rocks on the top.

Yes rocco i love my color thank you so much for painting me that way and 11 Question will i get to be in your cairn?

No I&#160; am Sorry I am only putting the natural rocks :C

Rainbow paper border

This is my rocky face. I got the rocks from my school and mom picked them up. I used 9 rocks to make the rocky face. I used the biggest rock for the head and two medium rocks for the eyes. I also used one medium rock and two small rocks for the nose. For the mouth, I used a flat medium rock and put a rounder medium rock on top that looks like teeth. A part of the biggest rock sticks out and looks like the right ear and I used one smaller rock for the left ear. I decided to make a flat sculpture because when I tried to stack the rocks up, they kept toppling over with no glue. I figured out the rocks were too smooth. So instead of stacking them, I made a flatter sculpture. Then when I was done I figured out my sculpture looked like a face. That is why I named it The Rocky Face!

I put my rocks on a small christmas tree I have in my bedroom. As you can see in my picture I have four rock cairns, one that is a little bigger is on the stand where my tree is, then there are three cairns surrounding them.&nbsp; My rock cairns represent Christmas because to me the bigger cairn symbolizes God and the smaller ones represent his angels surrounding him, this symbolizes Christmas to me.&nbsp; My inspiration for this project was that Martha Tuttle did something so simple for her art. She stacks rocks, yet they meant so much, they were so significant to her and that, I think that is something that really inspired me. The reason I chose this title is because I put my rocks around a christmas tree and that was really christmassy to me.

Thank you for reading our collection. The End

Navy zig-zag pattern

I was inspired by Martha Tuttle. Some rocks were found by The Armory. I got rocks from Storm King. I made some rocks from my printer's paper. I placed the rocks on cardboard. I was trying to make animals. I have five rock models. The one with the different rocks is called "Closed Den". It is called the closed den because I see a rock like a door blocking the way into the den. Another one with gray sharp rocks is called "Camel Cave" because it looks like a camel that is a cave. The next one that has two rocks is called "The Bird Who Sits On A Deer" because the rock one top looks like a bird and the rock at the bottom looks like a deer. The one that has paper rocks is called "Paper" because I used the paper rocks for my school meeting with the worker at storm king. The one with one rock is called "Boulder" because the one rock is round like a boulder.

Meditation Why am i always slanted I really want to know? Why is this metal so cold?

I arranged my cairn in my kitchen because it looks like the doorway to my kitchen!! 

Pop art red

I arranged my cairn on a plate because it was the most easy place to put it. 

My carin is a small structure. There is a rock On the left that looks like a cobra head because there's a dent on the side that looks like an eye. There is a rock in front that is white and a little crystally. He shined it directly to the sun it looks really sparkly. There is a rock under the one that looks like a cobra head that has a little bit of turquoise paint on it.

"I hope the rock above me isn't going to trip and fall on me" Thinks the rock that has the blue paint. The one next to it is saying "me too bro, me too".

Meditation Children, get off my tummy!

Explanation I used my Carin on my desk. I did this because I didn't want to use it on other tables to get dirt on it. It is shiny, rough, smooth, light, dark, glow, shadow, small, large, transparent, opaque.

where am i ? this isn't storm king art center!

I made it this way because I found all the best balance points and put them that way so there isn't a chance of them falling down. I think it looks cool like this.

Meditation I have too many buddys!!!

Explanation I made my cairn on my desk at school because I liked the wood. I tried to balance the rocks for the cairn.

Half tone green

Meditation: " I like it on this sketchy rock" " this rock is too scary to be balanced on" " Its kinda dark but good that I have not fallen"

Explanation: I made this tower at night by the road of my up hill. I put it here because it was dark and would give it some background. Also, I did the cairn on a sketchy rock.

I wanted another dog so made the dog I wanted.

My Amazing Cave by Patrick

Meditation&#160; It wants people to come in for shelter.&#160;

Explanation 1I arranged it on my table on green paper. My cairn is rough, big, light, and is a triangular prism.&#160;

Solar system. I got my rocks&nbsp;from storm king. And I stacked them just how I felt. I mean how I felt as i was just trying things out and I stacked the way my stack is now and I felt like it was the right&nbsp;formation. It was actually really weird cause i was not actually trying to do something, just make the stack and I ended up with this.&nbsp; My inspiration for the title solar system was the fact that the rocks reminded me of planets.&nbsp; And I did not really have an inspiration but it was so calming I felt like I could keep doing it forever.&nbsp;It was a cool sensation. That is my project

The Reading Tower of Rocks by Nola

Meditation "Oh no! Am I going to fall?" "Why can't I be on the top, I want attention too you know!" "Ouch! My back hurts, get off!" "Quite down and just be still, don't you get it, we're going to be famous!"

Explanation I put my cairn on the the reading nook in my room. I did this because it looks good there, that was the first place I thought of, and it was more challenging because the surface is not flat, it's coushony. My cairn has some very big rocks and some incy-wincy ones. the small ones have more glow to them, while the huge ones are more dull, but colorful. One big rock is orange and smooth, and the others are black and white, riged, and it has many nooks and crannies.

My rocks were found&#160; outside with dirt and ground. I chose this art work because it fits It best.

The Moon Rocks By: Janellie Dominguez

My moon rocks are very unique . I put different shaped rocks with different colored rocks, that is how I think my rocks are unique . The formation of the rocks are very creative . Most of my rocks were found in my backyard, I picked the rocks that looked like moon rocks because I wanted my sculpture to look unique . I put a lot of creativity and time into this sculpture .

The moon rocks are very relaxing to look at . When you look at these rocks they make you think about rocks in space, like rocks on the moon . My inspiration were from moon rocks, moon rocks look very pretty and they look legendary, My rocks are shiny when they are in the sunlight . My moon rocks also look like they were picked out from the moon .

Meditation How is on top of me? This is unacceptable! My back is going to hurt! How is he under us? This is making us uncomfortable!

Explanation There is a roughness of the rocks rubbing on my fingers. I see some darkness in the rocks. They are about to shine at night, giving brightness outside. Some are big, some are small but at the end of the day there are still rocks.

I chose big and small rocks from outside in my yard to use for my cairn.

My rock sculpture is thinking: Where will my new home be? Oh no! I hope those people don't step on me. I hope my new friend Jayla treats me real nice.

Noah Blackwell What rocks mean to me. The rock I felt was smooth so it made me feel calm. The second Rock I felt was rough and made me feel like it had been through a lot of erosion. The third was soft, but hard so it made me feel weird. The 4th rock was shiny, so it made me feel loved. The 5th rock was flat and smooth,so it made me feel calm.

Meditation My cairn think about stacking his toys like legos or janga very high.

Explanation My cairn looks nice and fresh. The rocks are stacked up and there is a bowtie and fancy hat on top.

My rocks are mostly brown and one is grey and black. I placed them like this for balance and since my brother already finished it, he gave me some advice for it to not fall and it worked!

I hope my cairn is good to whoever is reading this and Martha Tuttle.

I put the bigger rocks on the bottom and i put the smaller ones on top for balance. I put my rock cairn on a book because im getting a book or a game today. I named my rock cairn Naim because my little brothers name is Naim and i really miss him. Im gunna show my little brother this and i hope he feels happy even though he doesnt know what it is

I choose this way because it looks fancy.

I think that Andrew is my best friend&#160;

I put the big rocks on the bottom to help balance the small ones. The clear ones are pretty.
