Field Trip

Hi guys,

If you weren't able to make our field trip today, please look at the following website and answer these questions.
Salvation Mountain

1) Click on a few of the links and write about what strikes you about Leonard Knights monument.
2) From Spencer: "The purpose of the trip is not to celebrate religion in any way. It's to look at a piece of living art that is many years in the making, which happens to be a piece about religion. Much of the best classical art was sanctioned by the church for centuries, and yet we still discuss that work's academic value quite often in schools. This particular site was declared a state monument by Gray Davis back when he was governor of California, so the state has officially recognized the value of it beyond its religious message. We will not be there to discuss its religious content, but rather the artistic interest it holds." After looking at some of the images on the web site, write a few sentences about this piece as living art and its artistic interest.
Type it in and turn it into me by Monday. Can can send it via e-mail if you prefer.
