Leave those paint brushes and pencils behind!
First grade: In October we will be going out to Ledges State Park to celebrate the artist
Andy Goldsworthy. He is a British sculptor, photographer, and environmentalist producing site-specific sculpture and land art situated in natural and urban settings. He explores and experiments with various natural materiel such as leaves, grasses, stones, wood, sand, clay, ice, and snow. The seasons and weather determine the materials and the subject matter of his projects. Let us create wonderful works of art with what nature has given us! (We will be collecting items we find at Ledges to create our own Andy Goldsworthy projects. Keep an eye out for things of color and texture. Good finds might include, but not limited to: leaves, sticks, rocks, feather, sand, grasses, moss and flowers. But remember, we are visitors. Treat the woods with respect by not tearing it down or littering.)
Many thanks to our volunteers!

Images from our last year trip: We had so much fun creating art in the woods! Look what different materials each group found to add to their sculptures. Very creative minds at work.
