The Wood Line

For our first class we visited the newest Andy Goldsworthy earthwork installation titled Wood Line located within the eucalyptus grove along Lover's Lane.  

It is a very interactive piece that calls most who visit it to walk atop it.  

This work also inspires others to create their own ephemeral sculptures nearby in the grove. 

We were very interested in a pile of logs with spray painted numbers (the final components waiting to be installed) located at the end of the Line where the children spent time climbing, drawing, relaxing, enjoying homemade cookies, and more!  

It took little time to begin constructing their own structure.  

The children carried large sticks twice their size to lean against two nearby trees forming an enclosure.  

      

They positioned stumps inside the structure creating a seating area where they took turns basking in their creative invention.

Although there was some accidental poking and scraping whilst transporting the branches, the overall theme of our time together was cooperation, discovery, and teamwork!

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and our time creating together.  

We are looking forward to next week's exciting adventure!!! Stay tuned.
