My final proposal is to gather materials from on end of the line to the other and use them to make a “line snowball” of sorts.
Adding material upon material i hope to make a sphere with many layers of the line within.
In order for you to be able to see the inside structure of my creation the inner rings of material we be exposed,
covered only by a dome of sticks that I found on the far end of the line.
I hope you all enjoy the final result when its finished!
Hey you guys! This is the final result of my final line and word project. I hope you like it!
I gathered materials starting at the Alfred State end of the line and built the inner layer of my half a spare using the materials and then finally, with the sticks I found in the woods I finished my spherical shape in a way that still allows you to see the inner layers of my sphere.

IN THIS EXPLORATION I DREW SEVERAL PICTURES OF A TRADITIONAL SPHERE WITH MATERIALS I FOUND SUCH AS SCRATCHING A ROCK ONTO ANOTHER ROCK, USING FOUND CHALK ON WALLS, BENCHES, CHALKBOARDS, ETC. , THEN IN ONE DRAWING I USED A PIECE OF FOUND CHARCOAL ON A PILLAR OUTSIDE OF HARDER.
(all of these drawings took place with materials found on the line on locations in the line)

CASE OF VERY SMALL THINGS – CASE OF CURIOSITIES – MINIATURE MUSEUM
INSTEAD OF COLLECTING NEW OBJECTS FOR THIS BLOG EXPLORATION I CREATED ONE BIG MUSEUM USING ALMOST ALL THE OTHER BLOG ASSIGNMENT MATERIALS IN CONTEXT. MY “MINIATURE MUSEUM” USES JARS AND I CONSTRUCTED IN A SCREWY TOWER SORT OF WAY.
HERE’S A PHOTO OF THE FINISHED PRODUCT – HOPE YOU ENJOY!
THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING OF THIS IT WENT FROM SORTA MARTHA STUART(ISH)
TO INDUSTRIALIZED VERSUS NATURE AND FINALLY
I LIKE TO THINK I HAVE SETTLED ON A FAIRLY WHIMSICAL PIECE,
IN PARTICULAR WHEN LOOKING AT THE COLORFUL BALL OF BUBBLEGUM
OR THE SAILBOAT, SHOVEL, AND BEACH BUCKET CUT OUT OF SPONGE. 
FOUND WRITING UTENSILS
EXPERIMENT WITH AS MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF WRITING UTENSILS AS YOU CAN. YOU MAY USE FOUND PAINT, INK, OR REGULAR PAINT.
For this exploration i chose to use a white ink to print on a sort of brown paper roll that i found along the line. I chose to reuse many of the objects from my previous blog posts as well as use many new ones.
Here are some things that I used to print with:
MINIATURE ECOSYSTEM: COLLECT WATER FROMTHREE DIFFERENT SITES. THESE CAN INCLUDE A LAKE, POND, STREAM, PUDDLE, OR SIMILAR. COMBINE THE SAMPLES IN A JAR … ETC. , ETC….
SO MY VERSION OF THIS EXPLORATION WAS –
TO USE OBJECTS I HAD FOUND ALONG THE LINE TO MAKE A MORE IMMEDIATE MINIATURE LOCATION IN A JAR.
(personally i love the whimsical effect of the overall project that i made combining most of my explorations at the end)
HERE ARE SOME PICTURES TO DOCUMENT! -
This exploration is simply a transformation of the items documented in my last blog post. The objects I collected on the line I then decided to relate to my word SPHERE by transforming them into one.
So here are my previous objects as semi-relatively accurate depictions of a sphere:
DAILY WALK; COLLECT OBJECTS ONLY ON YOUR WAY TO WORK OR SCHOOL (or in my personal case the line) EVERY DAY.
TRY TO COLLECT THIRTY. (instead i collected multiples of a smaller number of objects along the line.)
HERE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS I COLLECTED:
BERRIES FROM THE THORNY BUSH THING NEAR THE BENCHES BY HARDER THAT THE LINE CROSSES OVER…
LEAVES FROM ALL OVER THE LINE…
PEBBLES FROM ANYWHERE I COULD FIND THEM ALONG THE LINE (APPARENTLY OUR PARTICULAR LINE IS MUCH MORE ACCOMMODATING TO LARGER ROCKS)
TAPE I FOUND IN A GARBAGE CAN IN HARDER HALL…
GRASS CUT FROM NEAR COHEN (ELDERLY MAN STOPPED TO TALK TO ME…IM PRETTY SURE HE THINKS IM DUMB)…
GUM THAT MYSELF, RENEE FARLEY, OR STEPHANIE PURGARICH CHEWED EVERY TIME WE STEPPED ONTO THE LINE THROUGHOUT THE DAY…
PLANT FOUND ON WAY TO COHEN ALONG THE LINE…GROCERY SHOPPING WITH JOHN CAGE
Collect things in your basket based on one variable of your choosing
(such as color, shape, size, packaging, foods you’ve never eaten, things you don’t understand, foods that are flat, etc.)
You do not have to purchase them unless you want to. Document them somehow.
FOR THIS EXPLORATION I WENT TO THE FINE GROCERY SHOPPING ESTABLISHMENT,
ALFRED’S VERY OWN MAIN STREET UNI MART. I CHOSE THIS ESTABLISHMENT
BECAUSE IT THE CLOSEST GROCERS IN PROXIMITY TO THE ALFRED FOUNDATIONS LINE.
I THEN TOOK UP THE ORANGE UNI MART BASKET WITH PRIDE AND FILLED IT WITH ITEMS REFERRING TO MY WORD SPHERE.
here are some of the items i found upon my adventurous quest of the uni mart;
(p.s. – they all relate somewhat to a sphere.)
