While in the classroom, the children have been exploring what art is and what art in nature looks like and how it makes one feel. To continue the exploration while on holiday break, teachers asked children to find and record in their home journals two things that reflected Art and Nature.
Through this activity the hope was for the children to see themselves as researchers, documenting their experiences and findings, so they can develop a sharing understanding of Art and their ideas behind what art is and what it means to them. This sharing provides the children with the opportunity to become confident in exploring various ways to communicate and represent their ideas.
Each child started by reporting on what they found and then were asked these four questions (below is a sample of the children’s answers).
