Response to the Kwon article & presentation

I thought we had a really great discussion about this article today, and I was REALLY interested to see the video presented about the tree. Reading the article, I found myself looking up different artists to see the works that they were discussing. I loved how the tree was moved so carefully to preserve the organisms. I feel like that might be a really interesting project for the classroom. Taking a piece of a dead tree and having a terrarium and just watching as time passes how things can grow and multiply can be very beautiful. It is a mixture of science and art that I really love to try and talk about sometimes in my own work with the beauty of nature and things found in nature that we don't always stop to look at and think about.
