creativity from without

In Design 001 lecture, we talked about Andy Goldsworthy and his creative works. there are many artists and designers who can create a master piece of work from without, but i couldnt think of anyone better for this perspective than Andy Goldsworthy.

in our class, we watched two short clips of his works by using garlic leaves and him laying down in the pouring rain and creating a unique piece of art work from scratch.

Andy Goldsworthy is a sculptor, photographer and a environmentalist and his specialty is creating works in natural and urban settings. he uses natural and found objects to create unique and temporary piece of art work. just by going off of the materials in the nature, basically from without, he creates these amazing works that inspires other artists. He uses leaves, flowers, mud, pinecones, snow, rain, and other natural materials.

photography plays a crucial role in his art work since his works are natural and are temporary. capturing the work at the moment it was created is crucial because it captures all the color, design, and uniqueness for others to see.

design is something that can be created from nothing. like the "stone soup" experiment we did in our class, by putting unknown ingredients together, we created a work of art that combined everyone's creativity together. Andy Goldsworthy is definitely a best example of an artist who uses stone soup method everyday of his life and creating inspirational work from without.
