Students in the ILE Fine Arts Pull-out explored the work of British sculptor and photographer Andy Goldsworthy. They watched a segment of his movie "Rivers and Tides" and talked about the nature of his art.  He is a sculptor and photographer who works with found materials on site, drawing from the natural setting to create his works. Most of the works are temporary but that is part of their beauty.  The process of creating is as important as the end product. The children enjoyed creating, knowing that their works would endure only in photographs. We hope to put up a show of this at the public Library. Each child will also have a collage of their endeavors and will write to Mr. Goldsworthy about what they learned or how they feel about this form of artwork. Mills Lawn parent Libby Rudolf and Mills Lawn grandparent Sue Rudolf helped with this project.
