This nature project was inspired by the works of Andy Goldsworthy.  The art is created only with things from nature. This project gets you to have a better connection with nature. You get to be outside and use natural colors and shapes. Whatever nature gives you, you must create something with it. This was the most relaxing project in my opinion and it was interesting to not pick up a pen or pencil  and think of a design and draw lines to create

this project was simple and straightforward and there are so many routes you can take. I thoroughly enjoyed using he same items, but in different ways that were completely different from the last.

I always enjoy finding new ways to make art. This activity was so liberating for me and I enjoyed getting outside and scavenging for items and them figuring out how to use them in my art pieces.

The materials I used were leaves, acorns, two spherical baby pinecones that I found on my school campus.

 

This is the first piece I made. I worked on this with my brother and helped crush and crumble up leaves. He also helped place the acorns and some of the leaves.

 

This is the second piece I made. It’s a gradient of red leaves going black to red. The black leaf at the top of the trail gave me this idea to do a gradient because I loved the black color and the small amount of yellow on the leaf. I wanted to use the leaf somehow, so this is what I came up with.

 

 

This is the fourth piece. It’s a jumble of whole leaves becoming nothing but crumbs and flying away at the end of the curve.
