Big Wood

Thursday and Friday as part of my course, we were let loose in a big wood to do an environmental sculpture project - ie. play in the woods and make things! It was so cold i wore: a vest top, polo neck jumper, hoodie, big fleecy duffel coat, woolie tights, socks, fleece socks, jeans, wellies, a hat with ear flaps, scarf, gloves and gardening gloves! And it was still occasionally chilly wearing all that! It was so much fun though, and it was amazing to believe that we were actually doing that as a compulsory part of our course - it was more like playing in the woods and having a generally fun time! An environmental sculptor came, and was camping for 2 days previously so he could work, and he made this:


It was really big, and it was made out of mud, bracken and sweet chestnut cases!
Its amazing that some people can do this as their job!

















We then had 2 days to make our own sculpture, and this is what me and my group came up with:

On the close of day 1!












Day 2: our Uber amazing sculpture! 'Type A', is it atoms, or apples on sticks?!

Next year we have to come back and do it all again, but with special needs children! Its gonna be so much fun! I love this course....
