Andy Goldsworthy is a British scuptor, photographer and environmentalist living in Scotland who produces site-specific sculpture and land art situated in natural and urban settings. His work involves the use of natural and found objects to create both teporary and permanent sculptures which draw out the character of their environment. He experiments with leaves, grasses, stones, ice, sand, wood, clay and snow, while the seasons and the weather determine the materials and subject of his work. With no preconceived ideas about what he will create, Goldsworthy relies on what nature will give him. He "feels" the energy from nature and transcends that energy into an art form.Inspired by the work of Goldsworthy and the vivid colors of fall that could be seen around campus the past few weeks, seventh graders created temporary artworks by using found objects. Like Goldsworthy, we photographed the pieces to document their existence. Here are just a few:
