Today for backyard art camp I am delighted to introduce dawn from simple things notebook. dawn's project is inspired by the artist andy goldsworthy. andy goldsworthy was a new artist to me. as a result, I am particularly delighted to have this project included in backyard art camp. goldsworthy is very inspired by nature and his artwork really honors nature...one of his big things is balancing rocks and creating art with nothing but what is available in nature. in my opinion, children do this more naturally than anyone else and so I suspect kiddos are going to go nuts for this project.
