Golden Spiral of Fire-Air-Water-Earth is used
as an outdoor classroom for storytelling. The overall
design is a spiral based on the Fibonacci curve.
It is divided into sections which follow the curve
of the spiral. Each section of tiles features one
of the elements, with the pictures arranged to form
a figure. Images students carved and painted on the
tiles were based on their own drawings of the elements
and creation stories. My intent was that both process
and design would create an atmosphere that would
stimulate storytelling. An Illinois Arts Council
grant helped fund this project. |
