Hello everyone!
I hope you are all keeping safe and well at home. Around this time, if we had been in school, we should have been taking our final school trip of the year to the Nature in Art Museum and Gallery at Twigworth in Gloucestershire. The Gallery is closed at the moment due to the coronavirus, but you can have a look at some of the exhibits on their website - there are some amazing sculptures in the beautiful grounds. We would normally spend the day doing different art workshops inspired by nature and using natural materials - and there's no reason why you couldn't recreate one of them at home, especially since finding some 'Nature in Art' is one of Year 3's '50 Things to Do at Swan Lane!'
Inspired by the artist Andy Goldsworthy, you could gather together some natural materials - sticks, stones, shells, leaves etc - and use them to make a picture or pattern on the ground. Think about how you compose your piece - will it be a picture of a particular person or memorable scene, or will it be an abstract pattern? If you would like to make a pattern, you could make a mandala like these ones. I've put a short powerpoint about Andy Goldsworthy in this week's folder on the Google Drive, which might also give you some ideas and inspiration!
Have fun!
Mrs Vaqueiro
