Art in Nature

Lockdown is a tricky experience, and diving into an hour of creative connection to nature can give our busy, tired brains a rest and a bit of playful restoration!

Join artist and art therapist Sally Ann Conwell for a tonic of Art in Nature. 

In this session we explore the ways in which nature can be an amazing teacher, and art can be a form of enquiry and learning. Art and Nature are found within each other and provide us with a unique opportunity to explore personal growth, and create greater compassion for ourselves and each other.  Sally will explore and share some of the amazing adaptations to fire found in the Australian bushland that can provide us with a map of regeneration, renewal and growth found in all of us. We'll use art to explore the ways in which nature touches us, and how its teachings can be applied to our everyday lives.

Bring: some paper, pencils, pens, watercolours, or just a pencil! Whatever you like. Plus one object from nature - a leaf, rock, shell, seed.

For ages 8-108
