In a world that is increasing its pace, students time is filled during and after school the time to model and teach children of all ages to slow down, observe and wonder is more important than ever. This course can be applied in a variety of ways but most importantly provide a life long tool for all learners.

I loved this class. In addition to getting me outside to make art, it provided ideas for incorporating nature and art into a variety of cross curricular lessons. We learned how nature journals can be a way to foster creativity and curiosity, and teach the process of inquiry.
