Andy Goldsworthy-Inspired Sculptures by the 3rd Grade
by Lisa Preston, lower school naturalist
Once upon a time, the third graders were in Kindergarten and did a journey to celebrate the nature-inspired artwork of Andy Goldsworthy. Since that has been a few years and they are studying famous artists in their third grade classrooms, we decided to do that same journey again.

We thought about the question of "What is Art?" Responses varied, but most agreed that art is a way to show an expression or a feeling. Art in nature is sometimes ephemeral, like theirs would be...here today, (maybe) gone tomorrow.
Before we left, the class took a walking tour as each artist-pair explained their sculpture.
