Earth Art


Today I decided to find an opportunity to get outside and also do something creative with my daughters! 

First, I showed them some Earthworks by Andy Goldsworthy, an artist who uses nature as his canvas. We discussed the colors he uses, what materials, and how he puts them together. 



After viewing artwork by the famous artist Andy Goldsworthy, we decided to take a nature walk. While walking, we talked about different plants that we saw and which ones were their favorites.       




After we had collected various berries, leaves, flowers, and stems, we decided to create an interesting design. My daughter started to create a radial design and we discussed balance and how radial design is found throughout nature.
