PLANT SCULPTURE LAB – AP Biology

Ms. Teri Bellows’ AP Biology class intersects Biology and Art. Student learn about various nature based artists, and how they work. They work out an idea, create a sculpture, and write about the work.

“Although sculpture using media from nature can be appreciated for artistic value alone, the artist often chooses this method of expression so that nature can be appreciated, valued and perceived in a different way. You may have seen the works of artist photographers like Andy Goldsworthy, Ursula Rydingsvard, Deborah Butterfield, Patrick Dougherty and Steve Terrill. Your mission is to participate in such an experience.”
