Mitchell Doran wanted to see one of the big plastic rocks.

Doran said he likes to look at things before he makes fun of them. He wanted to see if the rock was really cool.

Doran went to Diefenbaker Park to see the new public art.

He did not like it, even though he likes public art. He made a funny video about it on social media.

Doran said art is important, but it should be good.

He said the problem is that the art is not good, even though it cost a lot of money.

Some artists think art is important for people to connect.

There is a big art piece on a water tower in Shaunavon.

The big rocks are made from old plastic things like bottles and bags.

They are in three parks in Saskatoon.

Many people did not like the art project. The city had to explain why they spent so much money on it.

Tristan Surtees is one of the artists who made the project. He said it's about thinking about our place in the world.

He hopes people will think about the plastic they use and how it affects the environment.

Surtees said art is not just about money, it's also about culture and community.

Someone covered up one of the rocks because they did not like it.

Doran did not like that the rocks had company logos on them. He also thought local artists should have made it.

Doran said the price of the art project is not too high compared to what other cities pay.

People have different opinions about the art project.

Doran said the artist should have removed the company logos before making the rock.

The city paid for the art project as part of a bigger plan to make the city look nicer.

The city set aside money for art when they built a new recycling center.

The city manager said the art project helps reduce waste and makes the city look nicer.

She said public art makes the city a better place to live and visit.

Heather Smith likes to see new art in the city. She wants to visit all three rocks.

She thinks the rocks are cool because they are made from old plastic.

She wants to take a picture with the rocks. It's like a fun game.

Smith thinks the controversy is silly. She hopes people will see the value in public art.

She said even if people don't like the art, it's still something someone created. It makes the city look nicer.
