Block 2 The Writing Lab (Weekly Topic)

A part of being an artist is having a "purpose".  We will look at Andy Goldsworthy and investigate his purpose as an artist, which is connected both to the environment and art.


Some of his purpose, Natural sculptures by Andy Goldsworthy.

"Andy Goldsworthy is an extraordinary, innovative British artist whose collaborations with nature produce uniquely personal and intense artworks. Using a seemingly endless range of natural materials—snow, ice, leaves, bark, rock, clay, stones, feathers petals, twigs—he creates outdoor sculpture that manifests, however fleeting, a sympathetic contact with the natural world. Before they disappear, or as they disappear, Goldsworthy, records his work in suburb color photographs."


LAB ASSIGNMENTS:


Option 1:  Choose one of Andy Goldsworthy's images (andy goldsworthy in google images), post the image and describe what you think of the image, what it makes you feel, whether you like it or not and/or create a "6 word poem" associated with the image. 
Option 2:

Create an artist statement.  This will include your reasons for your art.  It will have details about a new "series" you are going to create.  You will talk about what inspires you to do art and what you want your art to "say" to others.  
  • Are you making art for a cause?  
  • Are you making art to focus on a technique?
  • What type of story do you want your images/art to tell?  
  • What subject are you drawn to?

Option 3:

Create a story bird (www.storybird.com).  This storybird will talk about the environment and connect to an issue you have looked up.  You can think of it as a "children's book" explaining why some part of the earth is important to you (animals, oceans, forests, etc.).
