Looking at Christo

You may know Christo and his partner Jean Claude, the eccentric artists who have wrapped everything from a building to a coast line. Their work is easily recognizable: large sheets of pink nylon fabric floating around Islands, his orange Gates in Central Park, NY, and his large yellow and blue Umbrellas.





To celebrate Christo and his work we did our own wrapped form- homage to

Wrapped Monument to Leaonardo da Vinci Piazza Scala,
Milano, Italy 1970



Wrapped Table and Chairs,
St. Paul's Episcopal Day School,
Kansas City MO 2009

Andy Goldsworthy

The kids loved looking at Andy Goldsworthy. They were amazed at the different ways he manipulates natural materials. We talked about the sculptures being temporary, that weather, and wind, the sun and water would change or destroy the work.
For this project the students were broken into two teams to design and create their environmental sculptures.
