Middle school art teacher Michelle Egelston gave her students a free hand as they headed outdoors to create their own works of art using natural media and a digital camera. The exercise was part of a study of Andy Goldsworthy, a British sculptor who commonly uses his hands, teeth, and found tools to to prepare and arrange materials like twigs, thorns, stone, mud, snow, icicles, brightly colored flowers, pinecones, and leaves into unique site specific works. Here's an example our our students' creative works.
