Students Learn That Nature Is Art

Mrs.Christoforetti's second-grade students at Trafford Elementary School learned about nature artist Andy Goldsworthy, whose artwork often consists of brightly colored leaves and other materials found in nature.  The students created Goldsworthy-inspired art of their own.  They designed fall gnomes using leaves for beards and other things found in nature to adorn their masterpieces.
