Art in the Garden
Description
Join us in creating beautiful and unique botanical works of art! As budding artists, the garden will provide both inspiration and materials for artistic expression. Together, we will:
- Use natural garden materials to create flower crafts, dyes and vessels.
- Discover the plants around us and learn about their shapes, colors, and plant powers through cyanotypes, hapa zome (printing with plants), and bouquet making.
- Experiment with different mediums to create botanical art.
- Use our senses to explore the garden. We’ll learn about what’s growing around us by making garden teas and snacks from and inspired by the garden.
- Develop our reciprocal relationship with the garden and practice caring for it by giving thanks for the garden’s gifts. We’ll use tools to water, plant, weed and save seeds.
On the final day of camp, we will turn the garden into a celebration of our artwork, displaying our art in a gallery for families to enjoy.
