Kreate something kreative that expresses your kreativity. I skipped this create challenge, because I really couldn’t understand what was mean by kreativity.

If you want to go to the next level, a photo of you tasting said nasty food.
For me, sloppy joes, especially chunky ones, are fairly gross and nasty.

Earth Roulette provides a fun way to explore the world (even if it is a front for a travel service). Take a spin, see where you land, and send us a photo montaged image of you there.

What made Roger hate this park so much? Yet, he still got a plaque for it.
Write, create something to give some insight into this figure.
Roger, he was just a typical man. He woke up every morning, got ready for work in his wood shop, took his dog out for a walk in the park, went to work, came home, and went to bed. Today however was a little different for Roger. He woke up and then got ready for work. The city had hired Roger to make seven benches for them that day. Roger then took his dog out for a walk, but didn’t return home that night. You see, as he was walking his dog through the park the most unlikely of occurrences happened. His ex-wife and daughter were also at the park playing on the swings. Trying to avoid confrontation he walked on the at sidewalk. The sidewalk just on the edge of fifth avenue where the traffic was greatest. Unfortunately confrontation was inevitable. His daughter, Laura, caught sight of him, jumped out of her swing, and ran to her father. She had missed him so much since the last time they meet in January. Laura’s mother, Christina, also Roger’s ex was distraught. They had broken up for a reason, and now here he was with his dog? She wasn’t going to stand by and let Roger break the custody agreement. While arguing Laura decided to finish Jack’s walk, the dog. It was during the argument between Christina and Roger that the crash happened. Laura was walking Jack when Jack decided to dart after a rabbit. Laura, only being six, was unable to keep Jack, a mastiff mix, from dragging her by her arm. Jack chased the rabbit into heavy traffic, and Laura and Jack were both hit by a semi-truck. This caused a multi-car-pileup which resulted in the deaths of Laura, Christina, Jack, the rabbit, and two people in their cars. Roger was fortunate to have survived with a sever limp which would stay with him his whole life. Roger later finished the benches for the city. To thank Roger for his service the city dedicated one of the benches to Roger. Roger tried to explain why he didn’t want that particular bench to have a plaque dedicated to him, however the city insisted and created this very insensitive plaque to honor him.

Monuments are in peril! They are either being pulled down by protestors or decimated by the president.

Create, design a monument about monuments, draw it, share it and tell us how it will preserve the monumental stature of monuments.
I made the national museum of Offensive Monuments and Murals. This is a museum dedicated to preserving parts and records pertaining to offensive works of art. The building its self is made unproportioned, as to offend those who look at it. This will help preserve all works of art that may fall into culturally and politically offensive as the years progress in our nation’s history.
Conclusions
During the semester the daily create challenges were a fun way for me to engage in different forms of art. Being able to try out new ideas without as much pressure is a great way to keep creativity alive in the classroom. I was fortunate to be able to enjoy ds106.
