This weeks notes

Hi everyone, 

Due to the amount of prep the scavenger hunts are taking it's going to be tough for me to get this weeks notes up. So if you have any questions about your notes or if you need to remember something, let me know. 

Hope you are all having a good week so far!

Growing Up

I'm looking for any suggestions for visual research on artists who deal with growing up. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Crazy Simulation

In researching I came across a few things I thought were pretty crazy and you guys might get a kick out of. First, at the Forestry Museum in Portland they teach children to plant trees using plastic dirt and plastic trees. And on a much grander scale, check out the Lied Jungle in Omaha, the "World's Largest Indoor Rainforest".

Also of interest on a different note is this page about Tokyo and the shrinking amount of greenery left in the super city (Only 4% of the city is allocated for green space as opposed to New Yorks 12% and shrinking still). The people in the city have taken to making flower pot gardens because they have no actual plots of land to plant anything in the ground.
