Challenge #1

Natural Materials Sculpture

Natural Materials Sculpture:
Using found natural materials, sticks, leaves, and stones, create a temporary sculpture outdoors. Take a look at the work of Andy Goldsworthy, (https://www.boredpanda.com/land-art-andy-goldsworthy/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic) and Patrick Dougherty, (http://www.stickwork.net/). After you've created your sculpture, share a picture or short video of it on https://glebe.apsva.us/post/art-padlet/.

Extension: Looking at your sculpture create some sketches of what you see. Move around and make drawings from different sides/angles, & close up/far away, etc. Use these sketches to make a final drawing, a painting or a collage. Have fun!

Check it out: There is a Patrick Dougherty sculpture at the Bontanical Gardens in D.C. https://www.usbg.gov/Dougherty . (The gardens are closed right now, but hopefully will be open soon).
