We are going to tell you what we have been doing outside the classroom.

We have been learning about an artist called Andy Goldsworthy. He lives and works in Scotland. His work is created using only natural things like: sticks, slates, leaves and stones. He usually makes circle patters from these materials.

In small groups we made some art of our own using natural materials that we found in the playground.

“When I was collecting parts of the rocks my hands got really muddy but it was also really fun!” -Kilian

“We made a circle using leaves. They were mostly different colours”. -Andrew

“It was tricky to think of what we could do using all the materials.” -Thomas

“we found different coloured leaves interesting because the looked like a rainbow.” -Maisie

“Our group used moss, a tub, twigs and leaves that we found in the playground to make a pattern. It was quite fun because we got to look around the playground for materials to use.” -Iain

 

Have a look at some of our own art work because we are very proud of it and think that it looks interesting!
