"It's like an art gallery in here at the minute"

In Art of the Week on Friday afternoon as looked at 'land art'. All the pictures we looked at were of things made by a man called Richard Shilling.

Some people thought at first that it wasn't art because it was photographs and not "created by a hand" but the rest of the pupils persuaded them that it was art.


















We liked them and thought it would be fun to make our own land art. Mrs MacNab said maybe we could make some when we go to the beach next term.

We thought some of the things must have been very difficult to make and must have taken hours!

    Hello everyone,

    I see that you had some fun looking at my land art! I am very honoured. I have another website called http://landartforkids.com and there are lots of ideas for fun activities on there, and 'how to's' to show you how to make your own land art. Check it out. I think you will find it fun.

    All the best
    Richard

    Some pupils have already been inspired to make their own land art, and we hope to explore this further next term.

    Here's a link to the blog entry about the land art they made in the snow last week: http://glaitnessprimary3and4class.blogspot.com/2010/02/our-land-art.html
