Andy Goldsworthy Inspiration

Andy Goldsworthy is an innovative British artist whose collaboration with nature produces unique and stunning artwork.  Using a range of natural materials- snow, ice, rocks, wood, leaves, he creates outdoor sculptures.  Before the sculptures disappear, he records their beauty through photography.

To inspire the children, I turned to the Andy Goldsworthy book, A Collaboration with Nature, where he photographed his work with balanced rocks.

I am wondering now, if their art with rocks would change if I posted the photos of their first creations?
