ENVIRONMENTAL SCULPTURE- RIVERSDALE WORKSHOP

Inspired by the work of artists such as Andy Goldsworthy and Tim Pugh, this workshop allows students to consider the natural environment around them as a means of art making practice. Students are introduced to contemporary, site specific and ancient environmental sculpture. They are encouraged to apply the conceptual framework to their sculptural piece when conceiving and discussing their art making processes and outcomes. Students follow a decision making process through experimentation and collaboration. Students will learn to care about their environment and consider the importance of the site. By photographing their work, students will learn about the importance of documenting their art as well as the ephemeral nature of the art form.
