Andy Goldsworthy Environmental Installations.

Our installation project will be influenced by the artist Andy Goldsworthy. Here’s some of his work which was featured in Scholastic Art, April/May 2005. There is a great documentary of his work called, “Rivers and Tides”. We are going to watch it in class on Tuesday.  If the weather cooperates, we'll be going outside to create our own instillations and photograph them on Wednesday.  If the weather is bad, we'll have to wait until Monday after Spring Break.

“When I’m working with materials it’s not just the leaf or the stone,
it’s the processes that are behind them that are important.” -Andy Goldsworthy

Goldsworthy uses only items found in nature to create his art.
