Andy Goldsworthy-Inspired End of the Year Fieldtrip

Andy Goldsworthy is an artist that uses objects found in nature to create sculptures. His works are usually nonobjective and focus on shape, space, texture, and color.





The 6th grade students learned about Andy Goldsworthy before going on their field trip at Myrick Park. We split the students into small groups. As a group they decided where to make their sculpture. Then they gathered materials (not man-made or living)  found around the park. After all the materials were gathered, they had to decide what they wanted their sculpture to look like. It was a great way to spend the day outside!
