Andy Goldsworthy Art!

We had a special job to do outside with Miss Lambert yesterday. We were set the challenge of creating an animation showing our artwork. We based our art on Andy Goldsworthy's pictures where he uses natural things like bark, stones and sticks to make patterns and pictures. 

Our first job was to decide as a team what sort of picture to create and what we might need. We collected twigs, stones and bark to start our project. We chose Grace to be lead photographer and she had a tough job to take pictures because she had to make sure that she stayed still and kept the camera in line with the previous photos. When you make an animation its made of lots of photos where you only change 1 little thing at a time like adding 1 stone. This is when we started putting the material on the floor to create a masterpiece.  

'We had to add one little piece at a time to our picture so that Grace could stay still to take the photos.' - Oliver and Zak 

As a team we had to take 62 photos to make the animation 15 seconds long. What a lot of photos! We had such a good time and the best part was seeing that we were artists like Andy Goldsworthy.
