In the style of Andy Goldsworthy...

Date: 24th Jan 2025 @ 5:04pm

Year 6 began their new art topic this half term, looking at the work of Andy Goldsworthy. 

Andy Goldsworthy is a British sculptor who uses natural resources to create works of art. His work is described as ephemeral, which means it's only meant to last for a short time.

Y6 started by collecting their natural resources from the school playground, putting them into patterns and sketching what they could see. Then, they tested different methods of leaf printing, using paint, pastel, chalk and felt tip. This will build up to creating a piece of ephemeral art outside in the garden next week. Hopefully, it won't be windy!

Have a look at some of the fantastic work Y6 children have completed.
