Goldsworthy Inspired Art from Nature in Lower School

Lower School Art Coordinator Jess Grisafi writes,  "After studying the artwork of Andy Goldsworthy, 4th graders spent a spring day in art class, scavenging for natural objects among our campus to create a design project.  They scoured the playground, the paths, and eventually the Green Ribbon Trail, searching for beautiful, natural items and picking up any trash along the way.  The students brought their findings into the art room and went to work.  Arranging and balancing, making shapes and patterns, the 4th graders carefully laid out a design
that was beautiful and meaningful for them."

Andy Goldsworthy is a world renowned British artist and environmentalist who produces amazing site­specific sculptures and land art.  Much of his artwork is meant to be temporary, and is archived only through
photography.
