Placed-Based Artist Andy Goldsworthy

Last summer I was involved in a TDSB Summer Institute called Teaching in the Outdoor Classroom. One of the instructors brought along a documentary on British artist Andy Goldsworthy, who makes site-specific sculpture and land arts. Some of his work is permanent and some is intended to weather away with the elements. I'm thinking about having the Green Team at our school create an installation along the same line. When I was out on yard duty in the winter, I was always interested to see how much kids of all ages love creating snow forts and sculptures. Enjoy.
