We are following the social studies curriculum in studying world history, beginning with early humans. In the artwork shown above natural materials were used, just as people living in prehistoric times used natural materials to create. The students learned about design elements and principles such as pattern, unity, line, texture and space. The compositions they created show how they applied these concepts.
The students also learned about artist, Andy Goldsworthy. Goldsworthy creates art by using only natural materials. Another aspect of his art is that they are temporary artworks, preserved only by photography. Likewise, the students created artwork that is only preserved by these photographic images.
