This document discusses Scottish artist Andy Goldsworthy and his ephemeral land artworks that incorporate natural materials like leaves, ice, and stones. As a temporary or ephemeral artist, Goldsworthy's sculptures exist only as long as the natural elements allow, using textures, lines, shapes and other elements of art to transform the landscape into artworks that eventually return to nature. The document encourages analyzing one of Goldsworthy's video clips in terms of how it employs elements of art like texture, form, and line.
