Just a reminder…

Art is due tomorrow by 2PM for Aesthetic / Foam.  Have YOU started yours today?  Why not start one at lunch?  You could melt down some crayons and paint on some old cloths… you could simply just draw a picture of anything that comes to mind.  The nice thing about us here at the R-WAC is we accept everything, whether it completely illustrates the words or not… it’s more about creativity and just making art.  So don’t get hung up too much on the words, those are merely your guidelines.

See you tomorrow afternoon…  For now, enjoy this:

And our winner is…

Congrats to Pineaple, you are this week’s winner with 50% of the vote!  You have until 2 o’clock this Friday to come up with next week’s two random words.
On that note, here are a few things to help inspire you with this week’s challuunge: Cassowary / Mechanic

Cassowary: World’s most dangerous bird

According to the Guinness Book of Records, the Cassowaries are the world’s most dangerous birds, capable of dealing fatal blows. They are very unpredictable, aggressive creatures, especially if wounded or cornered. The Cassowary lives in the rain forests of Australia and New Guinea and are actually pretty shy animals if undisturbed, but if you get to close and it thinks you’re a threat you could receive a bone-breaking kick or get sliced by its dagger-like sharp claws. During WWII, soldiers stationed in New Guinea were warned to stay away from these birds, but some of them still became victims.  The Cassowary is also one of the most difficult animals to keep in the Zoo because of the frequent injuries suffered by Zoo keepers that look after them.

Cherry / Construction: ART

It's art time.  YAY!  Below you'll find this week's submissions for Cherry / Construction.  Take a browse through them, figure out which one you like the most, and vote for it down below.

And our winner is…

Great job Danny Devine, you’ve taken last week’s challuunge with 42.1% of the vote.  You now have until this Friday to come up with two random words.

So, scratching your head as to what to do for this week’s words: HAMPSTER / LEPRECHAUN?  Well fear not, for we here at the art challuunge would like to share some history of both of these words.  Maybe this will inspire you in your struggles.  Enjoy, and we’ll see you back here on Friday, around 2-ish.

Hamster(s) are rodents belonging to the subfamily Cricetinae. The subfamily contains about 25 species, classified in six or seven genera.
Hamsters are crepuscular. In the wild, they burrow underground in the daylight to avoid being caught by predators. Their diet includes a variety of foods, including dried food, berries, nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables. In the wild they feed primarily on seeds, fruits and greens, and will occasionally eat burrowing insects. They have an elongated pouch on each side of their heads that extend to their shoulders, which they stuff full of food to be stored, brought back to the colony or to be eaten later.
Although the Golden Hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) was first described scientifically in 1839, it was not until 1930 that researchers were able to successfully breed and domesticate hamsters. Pet Golden Hamsters are descended from hamsters first found and captured in Syria by zoologist Israel Aharoni.
Hamster behavior can vary depending on their environment, genetics, and interaction with people. Because they are easy to breed in captivity, hamsters are often used as lab animals in more economically developed countries. Hamsters have also become established as popular small house pets.

Leprechaun (Irish: leipreachán) is a type of fairy in Irish folklore, usually taking the form of an old man, clad in a red or green coat, who enjoys partaking in mischief. Like other fairy creatures, leprechauns have been linked to the Tuatha Dé Danann of Irish mythology.^[1] The Leprechauns spend all their time busily making shoes, and store away all their coins in a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. If ever captured by a human, the Leprechaun has the magical power to grant three wishes in exchange for their release. Popular depiction shows the Leprechaun as being no taller than a small child,^[2] with a beard and hat, although they may originally have been perceived as the tallest of the mound-dwellers (the Tuatha Dé Danann).
