Andy Goldsworthy Videos and Images

Examples of Andy Goldworthy's work:





Here are three videos that we watched to prepare ourselves for creating Andy Goldsworthy-inspired works of art.

The first is an excerpt from a longer documentary about Goldsworthy called "Rivers and Tides."  This video shows how Goldsworthy acknowledges that as his work becomes a part of nature, it will be acted upon by natural forces, eventually lead to its disappearance.







This video is called "Autumn Works."  It was filmed at Storm King, a park and outdoor art center in New York.





This video shows examples of Goldworthy's work and how a group of Sixth graders from another school responded by creating their own pieces.
