This week we are exploring the world of 3D with an inspiration from artist Andy Goldsworthy.  We will learn about the artist and his work today and then design 3D installations and incorporate natural element of earth art into our sculptural works which are designed to be in our new Zen garden. The final designs will be due on Friday.
