ephemeral ART

Students will reuse natural materials to make an artwork while respecting nature and the environment.

​

The task is to create an ephemeral sculpture in a site-specific area that will eventually decompose into the environment.

Materials:

The class will be looking at examples of environmental artists and those that work with nature’s beauty such as Andy Goldsworthy and Ana Mendieta to feel inspiration towards their own artwork.
