Nature in the Making: A Children’s Nature-Inspired Art Adventure

Let curiosity lead the way in this nature-inspired art adventure for children.

With gentle prompts and plenty of room to explore, children can experiment with paint, texture and mark-making, and may also try collage. There’s no prescribed picture to copy and no expectation of a particular result. The focus is on noticing, experimenting and following the artwork as it develops.

No art experience is needed. Each child can take part in their own way and discover what they enjoy making.

Nature in the Making is a fundraiser for an overseas mission trip.

A ticket supports the trip and gives children a chance to enjoy a creative session inspired by nature.

Who's it for? any children in Year 4 upwards.

Who will be supervising? Kim Shaw (registered teacher and church youth leader) with other police-checked helpers.

What's involved? Children will be supervised outside on the church property observing natural elements, like trees, leaves, flowers, moss, shadows. Weather dependent they will either work indoors in the hall or outdoors on their artwork.

What do they need? a willingness to get curious and have a go, clothes they can get a bit messy and/or a painting shirt or apron.
