Andy Goldsworthy

Meet in Rosenberg Library, R305
Watch Film: River and Tides

Objective: Artist as Space Maker, Landscape as Inspiration, Landscape as Resource, Landscape as Structural Source, Ordering the Landscape in Formal and Informal Shapes, Relationship to the Cartesian Coordinates

Project: Your client is Andy Goldsworthy. Design a Meditation Space for Andy Goldsworthy. The space must reveal an identity about Andy as an artist and as a person. Think about the shapes and materials Andy uses in his work. How will the form reflect your client. Think about poetry and then think about the meditation space. Think about what we have been discussing in class, and use the previous lectures to help you design this space.

You are also to define a landscape, a place where the meditation space will be.

Your drawings, to be done in your sketchbook, must have a site plan indicating the landscape and the relationship to the Cartesian coordinates/ the sun's path, a floor plan, and a 1-pint perspective that describes the space, i.e. a window overlooking a moving river, etc.

We will have a group pin-up and discussion next session.
