Kate Schied, Stephanie Boyle, Kelly Haggerty & Katie Cappadonia - FINAL PROJECT Mini Golf Time Travel


FINAL Project - Mini Golf Hole
Group: Time Travel:
Kate Schied, Stephanie Boyle,
Kelly Haggerty and Katie Cappadonia

This project was a piece that was allot of work but the end product was rewarding.
Each Group had a different theme and then we put on a Mini Golf Event for the public to come and enjoy. It was allot of work but it was fun when it came down to the actual event. My group and I had the theme of time travel.
Each of us dressed up to represent a different decade.
Stephanie B - 1920s
Kate S - 1940s
Kelly H - 1950s
Katie C - 1980s

Katie Cappadonia: All Natural Bridge




















In my group was me (Katie Cappadonia), Kate Shied and Jack Yu for the all natural bridge project over the Kanakadea River behind Harder Hall and in-between that and Main Street. Our bridge is composed of branches of strong wood, rocks holding it up. We found vines that were like rope so we weaved that in to hold the branches together and to stabilize it more. We also soaked tiny strips of bark from a tree we used to make charcoal for Ted's drawing class, and used those as nice string to tie the branches together throughout the length of the bridge. After it was secure enough, we topped it with layers of tree bark, and then put pine needles over it. For artistic elements, we included logs that we got holes put into and made it like a fence, lining the side of the bridge. We also found dead bamboo shoots behind Cohen and threaded it through the holes in the logs. Then we wrapped a green vine like rope around it. We also adorned it with pine-cones and I sprinkled the red flower parts from a Sumack tree over the pine needles. We also started the beginning and end of it with a nice rock stepping stone walkway.

Katie Cappadonia: 20x enlarged sculpture; the napkin holder



























This is my 20X enlarged sculpture, in which my project was a restaurant-style napkin holder. It is 5 feet long and stands 32 inches tall. It consists of lots of cardboard, and internal reinforcements (cardboard), aluminum foil acting as the metal, tar paper (acting as the black strip), tuna cans as the buttons on the top, and circular chunks of wood as the feet for it. I took a large piece of roll paper and inserted it inside to represent a napkin, helping it look like an actual functional piece, only 20 times larger.
