The Land Art Project
At Collingwood we spent a fun filled week outdoors creating outdoor Land Art. In our year groups we collected lots of different natural art materials from around school and we even collected some from where we live. From twigs, branches, grass, shells, rocks and other found items we created a range of artworks from patterns, pictures and tree hangers.
