Art - Andy Goldsworthy

This half-term, Year 3 have been learning about the British Sculptor, Andy Goldsworthy.  His artwork is created from natural objects outside in nature.  They are not permanent and are left for nature to change them.  The children have been inspired by his artwork and gathered their own natural items to work collaboratively and create Andy Goldsworthy style creations in the playground. 

 

They were extremely resilient and coped very well on a rather windy day which made things a little more challenging for them.  They came up with their own solutions and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  It was fantastic to see them eagerly pulling their parents over to see their artwork at the end of the day to see whether it was still there and whether it had already changed.

 

It has been lovely to see children gathering leaves and twigs at playtimes and sitting together being creative out of their own accord.

 

Below are some photographs of their beautiful creations.
