The goal of this class is to have students create a watercolor painting of plant life that uses a technique called salt painting to add textural effect, and also to have them understand the role of soil health in human ecology. We will begin by setting up our workspace. We will quickly go over the goal of the class and begin creating. As the students are painting, they will be invited to discuss the soil and root system we are painting. As we complete our project and set it to dry, the students will be given a 10-minute break. Upon returning, we will share our art pieces and discuss what we have learned about soil health.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Our farm educators with Fearless Farmers enjoy teaching children ages 3-18 about regenerative farming, gardening, homesteading, foraging, cooking, arts, book studies, thought leader studies, and nature play. We create learning experiences that encourage children to connect with nature and food beyond the class meetings.
Our nonprofit founder, Amy Milliron, previously operated an educational farm in Dripping Springs, Texas offering camps, classes, and tours for families to learn about regenerative agriculture. She is a teacher-turned-farmer with a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction. Amy enjoys creating curricula used in a variety of formats including virtual classes like these offered through Outschool. Additionally, Fearless Farmers connects regenerative farmers across the US with their communities through hybrid online/onsite farm courses offered in partnership with the regenerative farms.
Our mission: Fearless Farmers inspires, teaches, and encourages our communities to learn the importance of regenerative agriculture and it’s direct link to human health by partnering with holistic-minded farmers and ranchers to offer transformative enrichment activities throughout the United States.
Why we do what we do: We inspire, because our children’s future depends on it. We teach, because sharing knowledge and hands-on experiences empower us in reversing climate change. We encourage, because stronger communities are ours to build, as we practice regenerative agriculture principles together.
We accomplish this by:
- collaborating with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color experts in the Regeneration Movement to revive proven agricultural practices that will save our food, save ourselves, and save the planet.
- providing online classes, workshops, and tours focused on diverse regenerative practices, and taught by trained educators.
- bringing our unique, hands-on curriculum to schools, preschools, after-school programs, homeschool co-ops, corporate/private events, and right to your home through virtual classes offered through Outschool.
It brings us great joy when children learn about the Regeneration Movement and lean in to learn as much as possible in order to teach others their new knowledge. A three-year-old explaining the benefits of vermicomposting to an adult is music to our ears. An eight-year-old planting native wildflower seeds to support native pollinators makes us oh-so-happy. And, a high schooler choosing to write their college essays on the positive impact regenerative agriculture has on climate change is the icing on the cake!
We invite your children to join us on this journey of Regeneration. The future looks bright indeed!
