ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

Andy Goldsworthy is a British artist and environmentalist. He has produced site-specific sculpture and land art situated in natural and urban settings in a poetic style. With fallen leaves and branches, he can make stunning but ephemeral artwork. This time, we are going to make a natural painting with leaves, branches and stones, and record them with photo.
