Inspired by the land artists Nils Udo, Andy Goldsworthy, Robert Smithson we programmed an outdoor excursion. The wonderful landscape of “Akti Vouliagmenis” (a beach near our school) offered us great points of interest to observe. Kids first admired the elegant statues in small size standing in the neat gardens by the sea and then they reproduced them with their bodies! Their creativity pushed them to make their own sculpture -a fish- using pieces they found around: stones, small branches, sea shells, leaves.
Coming back to school their inspiration guided them to gather diverse spam objects in an “empty” corner of our garden and decorate it with a brand-new sculpture. The result was … a unique lighthouse with a small cage on the top!!!
