DA#15 – Like a Tree

What if I change like a tree?

In this atelier children experience how trees are all different and how they change according to the seasons. Then they discover that they too, like trees, are all different, even though they have many things in common. Each child follows a tree near home and observes it changing over the course of the seasons, the photos of the trees are transformed into silhouettes to be decorated as desired. A main colour palette will be extracted and used by the children to create beautiful self-portraits, where the colours of the trees become the colours of their face, creating a deep connection between the child and the tree.

DA#13 – Photo-Safari with Flowers

Is there a change of perspective to the world when you look at nature through a camera?

Taking photos with the tablet is very easy and children can use the device independently after a quick tutorial with the teacher. But children should not just snap pictures on a photo safari. They learn to take and select photos consciously. They can review photos, reflect on the content, and learn that beauty is seen subjectively. 

Young children who cannot read are able to distinguish different plants through photos and can use an app for plant identification together with adults. This way teachers, parents and children can spend time together in nature and learn about flora and fauna.

Nature has always been a great inspiration for artists. Through the close observation of flowers and plants, creativity is stimulated, and feelings can be expressed. To explore and learn more about famous paintings, children accompanied by adults can use children’s search engines on the Internet and have their first experience of safe image search.
