Use natural objects and materials to create pictures and sculptures on the woodland floor. Students will gain an understanding of the difference between natural and man made, whilst developing their imagination in a variety of settings.
Itinerary
- On arrival one of our tutors will welcome your group to the Centre and go through the schedule for the day, learning objectives and health and safety issues
- We’ll then walk to the tranquil woods, and take a seat in the log circle where the tutor will introduce the activity. Students will get to enjoy a walk in the environment, and collect the natural colours of that season by having a go at the Artist Palette activity.
- Re-group back at log circle to discuss and show our palettes before taking part in leaf / bark rubbing pictures
- Time to go on a scavenger hunt and collect a range of natural materials so we can create our own pictures
- Next up is our ‘Boglins’ activity; gather natural materials to help construct our own clay Boglin.
- Then it’s time to head back to the centre
Please note the itinerary may differ depending on which centre you visit.
