Week 3 : How Earth Recycles!

This week we learned all about recycling in nature, as well as the importance of responsible consumption - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! We love repurposing materials for our art projects!


Working on our Predator-Prey mobiles after learning about the food chain!



After discovering these shed palm leaves on a nature walk, campers decided they would make  for a brilliant drawing surface! We experimented with different mediums and concluded that oil pastels work best!



Reusable tote bags - saying NO to plastic bags!



THE GREAT DAISY CHAIN CHALLENGE! 


Campers worked as a team all week to create a daisy chain from old Arboretum flyers that spanned the entire perimeter of our classroom, which is HUGE! 




The importance of BIODIVERSITY = the variety of life in the world's ecosystems.











Dried Bean Mosaics.



A big hit with our counselors! 


One of our favorite pass-times... Nature Installations!





Campers learned about Abstract Expressionism and Action Painting. 
Then we created our own Jackson Pollock-inspired paintings in the grass & sunshine!







On Friday we got ready for the 4th of July with festive fire work drawings, using oil pastels & glitter...


... As well as patriotic rockets made from T.P. rolls!
