Mount Rushmore
Mount Rushmore National Memorial has the carvings of four US Presidents carved out of granite. The four presidents are: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.
Well, Mount Rushmore is the mountain; that the landmark Borglum carved shares the name is perhaps shorthand. The Black Hills is the geologic range. It is located in the southwest corner of South Dakota, close to the town of Keystone, and is carved into the northwest face of Harney Peak.
The medium in a carving would be the substance which is carved. If a piece of granite is carved, the medium is 'granite' (or less specifically 'stone'), similarly for wood or ice. The medium is what carries the carving, which is the material is used to convey the carved design.
Theodore Roosevelt is one of the four presidents carved in granite on Mt. Rushmore.
Carving was done by using dynamite to blast away more than 90% of the rock. Once there was about 3 to 6 inches of rock left to remove, they used a technique called "honeycombing", drilling holes very close together, which weakened the granite so that it was easier to remove. After the honeycombing, the granite was smoothed with a hand facer or a bumper tool, creating a surface as smooth as sidewalk.
The rock in which the facs are carved is granite.
