Students will observe nature elements.
Students will create watercolor works of art to represent their observations.
Students will have the opportunity to write about and share their experiences.
Students will deepen their connection with nature and their inner self-awareness.

I created this as an opportunity to combine some art and creativity with science and observation of the natural world.

I have experience teaching natural science concepts but have also, in recent years, discovered the true value of connecting more deeply with the world around us, and with nature.

So this is a way to both foster deep internal well-being, as well as learning and practicing skills that support science learning, as well as any and all disciplines where inner and outer observation and reflection are required. Which to me, is basically -- everything! :)

I hope you enjoy!

Homework Offered
Students are encouraged to play with more watercolor outside of class in whatever way feels good to them. They can take what they've learned and create more masterpieces on their own, or simply switch gears and move onto the sea creature / animal for our next class. The choice is completely up to you! (And them. :))
Assessments Offered
Students are assessed based on participation -- giving their best effort, showing up prepared and ready to work / play with their art and observations.
