The Inca
The Inca Indians were a tribe of
highly skilled, highly civilized peo-
pie whose empire was located on
the Pacific coast Of South America
1T stretched from Ecuador to cen
tral Chile, and from the Pacific to
eastern Bolivia.
The capitol Of the empire was
.Coyca, high in the Andes. 1t was
connected to the rest of the en-
pire by the four great Inca high
ways: to the mountain; TO valleys;
to the pampas; to the sea.
The Incas were fine craftsmen
because they had such good ma
terials: bronze from Bolivia, cot
ton from the warm valleys, wool
from the cold mountains, and clay
from everywhere around The IN
cas- art work can still be found in
museums.
They were excellent t a r m { + 5.
They used comparatively modern
methods, such as terraced fields
and irrigation bitches. Their chief
crops were: maize, potatoes, beans,
squash, tomatoes, and tobacco.
When the Spanish came to con
quer, the Incas We're not really
conquered No, they are free, and
as long as one is left, the Inca
will never die.

Art
In our last period of art We
made colleges Whenever we have
collages to make I always like to
do them We made collageS once
before this year The first time
did it l liked it very much. The
way you make a collage is TO put
various materials on piece of
paper These may be any shape.
1t is very interesting and fun to do.
Whenever | make collage | am
always curious about what it will
look like when it is finished.
think you get most unusual things
when they are finished.
In another class of art we made
mobiles. Mobiles are fun to do and
they are interesting The way you
make a mobile is to get a coat
hanger and cut it into pieces. Then
tie pieces of string onto the bot
tom Of the hanger, and tie
materials onto the string When
you get finished you hang them
up on the lights When the win
dows are open wind comes in and
they turn around in the air in diff
ferent ways
We have made masks out OF
kingcrab shells You can make
them from empty crabshells. We
washed them out before we
brought them in. Then we took
different types of material d
glued the materials on in such a
way as to resemble faces.
