Land Art from dummies

                                                        The Making of                                                         
For the Land Art assignment I have gathered up a group consisting of Brittany, Aidan, and Myself. Our initial plan for this land art project is to go over to my house were I have a backyard unscathed by anything other  making it ideal in both size and quality of landscape. Once we arrived at my house it was soon discovered the "ideal" location was atop the septic field making it unusable as far as the concerns of our project. We then traversed my country property in order to find a location fitting to our needs. After approximately half an hour of searching we had found it and began to sketch an outline with snowshoes. together we worked out Aidan would use his snowshoes to loosely( both figuratively and literally) draw the Celtic naught whilst Brittany and I led him in the right direction.

                                               Why We Chose a Celtic Naught 
The reason being for why we chose a Celtic knot was Aidan had been looking for designs to do with his and couincidently my heritage and found a design simple enough for us to do.

                                 Thoughts On the End Result and How th Picture was Taken
After we had finished we found a snow bank big enough to take a picture from. Our initial plan was to take the photo from the top of our barn but we reconsidered after observing how dangerous taking a shot from atop the barn could be. In order to get a picture were the groves in the snow could be seen we took the photo with the sun at our backs. After observing the picture we found it to be satisfactory in both the time taken to make the art and the qualitty.
