Video Conference
Allow students questions to lead into other areas.

Visit Long's 'Santa Cruz Circle' (pan in and around)

• "How does 'Santa Cruz Circle' relate to Richard Long's direct experience of nature?"  (a walking tour of Patagonia)  rugged terrain, random placement and weight recall the exertion and movement involved in the sculpture's creation.

• Discuss balance in this work
  (order/chaos, natural/artificial, physical/conceptual, interior/exterior, etc.)

• Discuss his choice of forms (circles and lines) and how it imposes order upon chaos.

• How might you choose a form to create a similar work of art?

Now let's look at Hamish Fulton's work and compare and contrast it to Richard Longs.
(Remember Longs' textworks?)
(Closeup of each photo and ensuing discussion)

• Both are records of experience

Fine Arts Activity

Take students outside on a walk to find natural object for the construction of their own sculpture.  Document results with video or camera.

Motivation:  explore patterns of nature by arranging its building blocks in unexpected ways.  Work with whatever you notice:  twigs, leaves, stones, snow and ice, reeds and thorns, etc . . . (impose order on chaos)
