Land Art Inspired by Andy Goldsworthy

This beautiful morning first, second, and third grade students at Smilie Memorial School were able to go outside and build Land Art. Last week, the children worked in small groups to design their piece of Land Art. We were all inspired by the amazing works of Land Art done by Andy Goldsworthy. 
In reflecting on the process, all students determined that Land Artists needed to be flexible and creative problem solvers--after all building with only natural materials is tricky business.







The children were amazed by the wealth of natural materials available to them in the wooded area.





I saw SO much amazing teamwork and cooperation!
