STORIES FROM NATURE

Unravelling the Stories of Wool through Creative Explorations

New Nature Art Module - Sheep and their stories


In this inspiring Module we explore the fascinating story of Sheep and Wool through creative explorations which will undoubtedly evoke further enquiries into history, culture and storytelling in your classroom.

Here are some of the nature art activities in the Sheep Module:

1. Drawing Sheep indoors and outdoors using charcoal, chalks and paint. By weaving art into the fabric of nature, children develop a profound connection to the world around them.

2. Making Clay Sheep Sculptures leads to playful adventures both indoors and outdoors sparking imaginations and storytelling. As the children sculpt, and create with the treasures of nature, children become stewards of the Earth and great storytellers.

3. Land Art - What might the students create using natural materials after learning about the sheep and how wool from the sheep can make garments of clothing? Creating land art, children become eco-explorers, learning to appreciate and protect the environment. Each placement of a found object becomes a small pledge to care for the Earth.

4. Using patterns from the students' own woollen garments for inspiration, they are invited to create a patterned sheep.

5. Designing our very own Life Size Sweaters using the local landscape as inspiration.

Nature art teaches not just about colors, shapes and patterns but about harmony and balance. It's a dance where every element plays a role, echoing the interconnected dance of life in the natural world.

Elise chose her warm woollen blanket for her inspiration, creating a large watercolour painting of a sheep embellished with the patterns and colours of her favourite blanket. This lead to her sharing stories about her blanket and how important it is to her.

“Storytelling is a fundamental part of being human. Stories let us share information in a way that creates an emotional connection. They help us to understand that information and each other, and it makes the information memorable.”

Christine Hennebury

In the gentle embrace of nature, children find not just a canvas for creativity, but a sanctuary for holistic growth. Nature art isn't merely about crafting beautiful pieces; it's about nurturing young minds and spirits in a way that only the natural world can.

New Nature Art Video Series

It all begins with an idea.

So excited to share with you my latest Nature Art Video Series - A SENSE OF WONDER

“If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in.” - Rachel Carson

This video series is a collection of simple, fun and soulful Nature based Art activities inspired by the awe and wonder of the Natural World and is suitable for any age group from 5 years to 99 years and can be adapted to suit your own unique environment. We invite the viewer to play, explore, imagine and create nature art and experience the joy and renewed connection with nature; that helps nurture the whole being, body, mind, heart and spirit.

The videos are short and simple and just one example of what you could create with clay, paint, recycled materials and so much more. From clay hummingbirds and driftwood fairies to Kandinsky inspired caterpillars; experimenting with charcoal and watercolour.

Take a peek: Watch the trailer here:

The videos are made for adults to play, explore, imagine and create alongside their child(ren); students or solo - the activities are a starting point, a possibility for you to expand on your very own unique creative journey. We all tend to spend too much time indoors and connected to technology - these videos encourage us to make time for nature and creativity - providing a soothing balm for the tired and weary soul. When we combine nature and art, we receive a double dose of a very powerful natural medicine.

We follow the seasons of Mother Nature and begin with Spring. The series contains 6 how to videos and a PDF to accompany the videos.

Dance out of the Darkness

The Healing Power of Nature Art

Sometimes it’s hard pulling yourself out from a heavy atmosphere of feeling overwhelmed and bewildered. I find that playful Nature Art very therapeutic. Yesterday my heart was heavy so I went for a walk in the woods; the trees showered me with love and reassurance that I too am strong and grounded, deeply rooted. The beech tree whispered to me inviting me to gather a handful of beech nut cases and I found myself reaching for a few little sycamore seeds - how can one not feel the magic of seeing little fairy wings!!! I was already feeling much lighter and happier as I left the wood.

A Sprinkling of Joy

Playing with the treasure gifted to me by the trees, I begin to imagine a little beech being. Part of the process is simply playing and exploring possibilities, constructing and deconstructing….you are fully present in the moment, not worrying about the past or stressing about the future, just allowing the precious moment of being and creating; It’s a joy-filled journey, allowing for flow and movement - a dance out of the Darkness.. What a joy to play and create and share the joy. I hope this little Beech Being brings you a sprinkling of Joy today.



This month I have an offer on my Urban Nature Art Modules.
