Outdoor Installation of Cairns (After Goldsworthy)

Lower School art teacher Alia Tahvildaran and her kindergarten students practiced painting stones and stacking their collection until the weather cooperated enough for them to head outside and install cairns in the woods along the Green Ribbon Trail.  Working in small groups you could hear students exclaim,  "I'm playing with rocks!",  "Try it again so it doesn't fall!",  "Kindergarten "rocks!" 
In this art and science project students were introduced to the stone work of artists Andy Goldsworthy and Thea Alvin. In addition to showing Kindergarten images from this great book Tahvildaran also showed them stone works from Andy Goldsworthy's digital catalogue where you can browse by year, form, material, or place.
