Rocks Systems

So this project is an assignment for my Art103 class. We have to make a system to place our rocks.

The first thing I did was look for rocks.

I found this rock at the Fremont Bart Station.

I found this rock outside a Burger King in Bakersfield.

I found this rock outside Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas. It was outside the hotel parking lot.

I found this near a tree, also outside the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas.

I found this rock near a tree near the Light Rail Station on First Ftreet.

I found this rock near a restaurant in Las Vegas called Archi.

I found this rock near a Deli Taco.

I pick this rock up on the way to the Light Rail Station.

I forgot where I got this rock.

I found this rock outside my house.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

After I got all my rocks, I label my rocks, give them qualities, and wrote out a systems for them.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
1= shape value
2= look value
3= texture value
4= color value


































































rocks# 1 2 3 4
#1 circle big smooth grey
#2 chipped slanted edgy grey
#3 chipped slanted edgy red
#4 cube strong rough grey
#5 oval flat smooth grey
#6 half circle broken rough grey
#7 rectangle combined smooth tan
#8 right angle slanted smooth grey
#9 trapezoid wiggle rough red
#10 triangle slanted smooth grey

Steps:
Drop the rocks on the map, if any rocks land outside the map re throw those rocks (only) back onto the map.

After all rocks land on the map, use a penny to draw a circle around where the rocks landed. It is okay if the circle overlap each other. And label the rocks with the circle coordinate with each other.

After this is all done gave it to someone else and tell them to place the rocks to its coordinate (anywhere inside the circle).





To chose rocks quality(value):
After going to the coordinate of the rocks, find someone nearby.
Ask them to chose a number 1-4. If they ask why say you are doing a project. If they are being complicated try to find someone else.
After someone gave you a number from 1-4, than use that number value to find your location. (if someone gave you an weird number like 1.23, than you can use any qualities of the rock to place the rock)
(Example: If you were to place rock #1 at a location and the number that was given to you by a person was 3. Than you have to place the rock somewhere that is smooth.) [you have to do this for all of the rocks][each rocks location have to be ask by different people]

If for some reasons you can't find a location for the rock because of its quality, than you may used the next number.


Rules for placing the rocks:
Each rocks have 4 qualities (value) shape, look, texture, and color. Rocks have to be place near/on the chosen qualities.
-the rocks can be place anywhere inside the circle of the map (if circle only cover building than anywhere around the building can the rock be place)
-the rocks can be place on trees, on grass, and on cement
-the rocks can be place under chairs, under table, and under bushes
-all rocks have to be place outdoor
-wherever the rocks are place have to be safe (meaning it can not be moved) (example, if it place on the grass it have to be safely secure, stuck to the ground)
-the rocks can't be cover by other objects (can't be underneath the ground where it have to be dug up)
-rocks can be place together, if the coordinate and quality of each of the rocks match up or similar
-after you place the rock take pictures of you and where you place the rocks.
-write down which quality(value) you used to place the rock

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is some pictures of when the rocks where placed to its location. Also the qualities that was used to placed its location.

Rock#5->grey


Rock#3->edgy



Rock#8->rough





Rock#6->grey



Rock#7->rectangle



Rock#4->grey
I did this one as an example. :)



Rock#9->wiggle





Rock#1->big



Rock#10->triangle



Rock#2->slanted
