CLS 5th Grade Land Based Art Day!

Thank you Rhinebeck PTSO for helping to make this possible!!! On Friday, October 15, 2021, inspired by their studies of land-based artists such as Andy Goldsworthy and Norm Magnusson, Rhinebeck's Chancellor Livingston School 5th graders took to the woods behind school to make some nature-based art. The art making activities were split into two groups, roughly defined as "moving things around" (Goldsworthy) and "decorating nature" with paint (Magnusson). For the "decorating nature" with paint activity, the students worked individually and their finished work was marked with their names. For the "moving things around" activity, the students worked in groups and their finished work was marked with letters. It was a beautiful day, everybody had fun and the results were amazing. Some pics from this event can be seen below, and references to some of the land-based artists studied are included below that. (Click on any image to view it bigger.) +  +...
