Artist Research - Andy Goldsworthy - Land Art

This week we will learn about a very interesting artist named Andy Goldsworthy.

After answering some questions about his life and work you will go outside and create your own artwork based on his style of nature art.

Goldsworthy uses nature and natural settings to create a wide range of artworks.

Here is a cool project that he created last year at the Nelson Atkins museum in Kansas City.
