Environmental art at the nature center.

With the monster project finished (look for work to be hung up in the hall next week) the 8th grade moved on to our annual nature installation project at the North Park Village Nature Center. We look at the work of the artist Andy Goldsworthy and then we go out in the field to create and photograph temporary installations using only what we find in nature.  The only tools allowed are scissors, trowels and water and once complete these designs will dissipate back to nature.  Here are a few images of them working and a few of the completed pieces. These works will be made into a set of greeting cards that will be available for purchase at the auction.

Here are some of the beautiful finished pieces.
