Today, we explored two different types of Natural Art for our Fall Fun Friday activity. After reading, "The Leaf Man," by Lois Ehlert and "Look What I Did with a Leaf!" by Morteza E. Sohi, the students created their own art using a variety of different types and colors of leaves. The students were inspired to make animals, ocean creatures, pets, trees, etc. While the students finished up their work, we watched several videos demonstrating the Ephemeral artwork of Andy Goldsworthy. We learned that the term Ephemeral means "only happening once" and "short-lived." The artist, Andy Goldsworthy, uses pieces of nature to create beautiful images left in the natural world. We went outside and collected a variety of colors of leaves for our very own Ephemeral art in the school yard playscape. The students were proud to create a ring of rocks and leaves for the rest of the Walden community to enjoy.
