The Ecology Club at Wiscasset Elementary School took advantage of the beautiful sunny weather on Oct. 21 to create artwork in the style of Andy Goldsworthy.

After viewing a variety of slides displaying Goldworthy’s art that uses natural objects as a medium, the students gleefully took buckets outside to collect objects to create their own art. Students gathered leaves, acorns, flowers, twigs, and rocks. Then they settled into a carefully selected space to create pieces of art making use of colorful patterns.

Once the children were satisfied with the art they created, they did a gallery walk where each artist explained their process. Everyone left inspired to find the potential in all natural objects.
