ART
S1/2 classes
Throughout his career most of Goldsworthy's work has been made in the open air, in places as diverse as the Yorkshire Dales, Grize Fiord in the Northern Territories of Canada, the North Pole, Japan, the Australian outback, and Dumfriesshire. The materials he uses are those to hand in the remote locations he visits: twigs, leaves, stones, snow and ice, reeds and thorns. Most works are ephemeral but demonstrate, in their short life, Goldsworthy's extraordinary sense of play and of place.
Follow the link below to take a look at his work, then select 1 piece and tell us what you think of it.
Then create your own 'Goldsworthy' style sculpture, photograp it and bring it to school for your folio
