Fairy Ring Nature Installations

In celebration of artist Andy Goldsworthy students at my school student work in groups to create an outdoor installation incorporating materials found in nature. Traditionally we have created this assignment on our school campus in a high traffic area so that all students would be able to witness both the process of the installation and to be able to enjoy the beauty of the final results. The first year I introduced this assignment an elementary student shouted out on his way to lunch “Look at the Fairy Rings!” and so I named the project in that student’s honor. This year after we began teaching virtually because of Covid 19 I decided to have my students complete this assignment from home.
