Fresh Air Friday #10

Today for Fresh Air Friday Room 2 went into the Whispering Woods to create art in nature using things found in nature. We were inspired by a British artist named Andy Goldsworthy, who creates temporary art installations out of sticks, stones, leaves and anything else he can find in nature.  Some students worked in groups while others worked by themselves, using leaves, dead branches, and twigs to create their art on snow, in the woods, on live trees or large stones.


Afterwards, we continued our work on our nature sketches and watched a demonstration on how to use watercolor paints. Some of the students were able to get started on their painting and filled in the background or sky with a light wash of color.
