Land Art/ Earth Art Project - Lesson 1 - Researching!

This engaging and purposeful series of lessons enables children to gradually develop towards creating their own land art/ Earth sculptures. The resources were originally created to guide children towards creating art in the school grounds and a local forest, but the resources can easily be adapted to fit your own particular local landscapes.

This first lesson helps children to:
-Understand what land art is and identify its key features;
-Explore the materials and methods used by land artists;
-Share personal responses about the artworks that they observe;
-Begin exploring materials in their local area.

Included is an eye-catching and comprehensive 19-slide PowerPoint presentation, and hard copies of the artworks to explore (in both Word and PDF).

These lessons were originally created for children in year 2, but may be adapted for slightly older and younger year groups.
