Earth Day Art

Our class celebrated earth day by learning to appreciate nature. We discussed how art is all around us and how we can use items from nature to create original works of art. Recycling was another topic we tackled by trying to use the least amount of supplies throughout the day. I took the students outside to search for materials for their landscape picture.

Students searched through the area behind the school to look for natural supplies!



First, students placed their materials on their paper. After they decided they liked how it looked they glued them down! Last, they used crayons to add some extra detail.

The students had some wonderful ideas! Some used sticks to build houses, rocks and blades of grass to create the sun, and different flowers to make windows. They were all very creative and everyone made an original and natural piece of artwork!
