Outdoor Art Lessons

There is much to see and experience when we go outside.  These lessons come from Allison Poklemba, Humboldt County Office of Education Environmental Education Teacher and Greenwood Schoolhouse blogger.  We recommend these lessons for their integration with environmental education, botany, nature journaling, drawing, creativity, and relationship building/ socialization with family.  Some of the creativity skills strengthened in these activities include Notice/ Wonder, Develop Craft, Reflect, Envision, Create, and Collaborate.  

Draw Together

In this activity one person is the EYES to look and describe a natural object.  The other person is the HAND that records the description.  This also works with Zoom with friends and family who are far away.
Lesson

Make A Sound Map

Put yourself at the center of a map that shows the sounds you hear outside and record their locations in relation to you.  This activity also has you  envision and create how you will represent each sound visually.  
Lesson
