Joan Mitchell’s Chamonix 1962 painting appears to be a mess at first glance; paint violently pushed across canvas, no focal point and seemingly just no point to this piece. However, by giving a name to this abstract mess, we are able to begin to use our imagination to begin to see shapes take form to see that Mitchell has made an abstraction of a French mountain and it is our job as a viewer to use our minds to make a story of her canvas. Mitchell’s 200 by 217.2cm canvas overtakes your vision…

On December 29,2016 My friend Jack and I went snowboarding at Mt.Alyeska.During that Thursday morning we woke at at 5:45am and drove and picked up Jack.It was approximately 1hour and 45 minute ride there so about 82.6 miles.We got snacks for the ride like Airheads,doritos,and sodas.We got the junk food to get us hyper for the mountain because we knew that we were going to be on the mountain for 6-7 hours. When we arrived there we felt great we unpacked and everything got on our favorite lift…

ride through the old covered bridges. The winters are brisk and freezing and you can count on having a good time if you enjoy snow. During the winter, everything is draped in a white blanket for weeks. The trees look like they are lying down and taking a nap. Not far from Crystal Cove, you can travel to the mountains and go snowboarding or skiing on the many snow capped tops. It might be winter, but there is beauty in it, clarity, the kind of thinking that lets you notice small details.…

It was a chilly and foggy Wednesday afternoon. The slippery and wet stone floor in front of the popular Cologne cathedral reflected the melancholic weather of a typical late autumn/ early winter day. The stomping sound of my heavy combat boots and the murmur of many excited voices were all I could hear. From a distance, I saw an overspill of overly enthusiastic people walking in all sorts of directions. Somewhere in the middle of the sea of people, there it was. The long awaited, shooting-star…

Have you ever shot a deer or have been hunting? Well I have, my first deer was a huge 9 pointer. It was the best moment of my life. Thanks to my dad, I have a great adventure to tell. Hope you have a little fawn while reading my story. We started our great adventure in the car heading up into the woods of Iron Mountain. I would hunting with my 45 yr old uncle Jim and His son Jeremiah. We told every single person in that car I was up for gold. My family arrived to Iron Mtn and we unpacked our…

The snow crunched beneath my feet as I walked onto the chairlift the wind howled and I shivered as the snow went down my back, the lift shuddered to life and started climbing up the face of the mountain, near the top I started strapping the Burton snowboard to my feet I turned to the right of me and saw two Swedish skiers who must have been on vacation it was odd because Sweden has a lot of snow so I asked them if they spoke English and they either couldn't hear me or didn't understand me and…

pick up. I peeled open the blinds and there it was. Snow that had covered the valley like a blanket. Thoughts raced through my head as I pulled my pajamas off and replaced them with clothes that I had worn from the day before. I pushed my bedroom door open and raced down the stairs, pulling the front door open welcoming the cold into the house. I stood over the freshly laid blanket of snow, wondering if I should build a snow man or listen to the snow crunch beneath my feet? I walked straight…

are almost guaranteed at least one snow day a year. It is just a proven fact. Last week, we celebrated a glorious snow day on campus. Even though it was not like the blizzard of 2015, it still seemed to live up to it. The funniest part of snow days has to be following President Machtley’s tweets leading up to the announcement of the snow day, as well as his analysis throughout the day. Prior to his announcement, as I caught up on the weather reports I knew this snow day could not have been more…

The Haida and the Inuit do have a couple of things in common, but not always be the same. They both do things differently to survive. The Inuit tribe went through harsh weather, they lived in the arctic circle. The arctic circle includes Alaska, Canada, Greenland and Siberia. They lived in igloos that they had made by themselves. It was almost always snowing where the Inuit tribe was. The Haida tribe lived in damp climate. It was a challenge to get cedar bark from trees to make baskets and…

of snow. Doning an igloo is a hard work. Sometimes you can mest up on the rims and all the blocks may fall down. To the other snow and you will have to do the blocks from the beginning. So you have to be very careful on how to follow the steps(directions). Always remembered that it's hard and it takes along time if you are the only one doing igloo(by yourself). MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS!!!!!!!!!!! Step 1, draw a circle on the snow. A seven foot diameter. Next, move any loose snow on…
