Igloo of Sin





Here are some pictures of the igloo we made in sculpture class. After much discussion of what to make one of my students had the idea.
We have had it up for some time (since April) and have allowed students to do work in the igloo. Its fairly large and holds 5-6 comfortably. I have tried to monitor conversations and behavior as best as I could but neddless to say it has become an easy escape from our opressive rules at Lakeside, like: no drugs, sex, or violence.
As I was taking it down this week I found a bag of "sticky icky" green hrebs stashed in on of the cereal boxes.

Album Covers that I Like











Rubens dared me to make a visual list of some of my favorite album covers, it was like this: "Rob and I are doing it you should too!"


Why I like dem:

Milo's cartoon is so simple that any kid can draw it all over his school folders

The passion displayed in the expression of Juan Garcia's face

OK Computer is just a brilliant cover, I think it fits perfectly

Howard Finster is one of my favorite artists

When I first saw this album I thought it was a copy and that my friend did the drawing

I love that color of red and the whiteout splatter makes it!

Deerhoof albums are all good. This one is so creepy and playful, is that banana really coming from the MILKMAN's butt?

Bjork's cutest picture, adorable, beautiful, lovable.

This cover is even cool with out the 3D glasses it came with to view it.

Smoking is cooler in pictures than in real life and again the red.
