Today's idea: Nature Art Installation!
Another fun activity that can be done ANYWHERE and that is never truly finished - lots of room to continue working for weeks and weeks! One of our favorite parts about creating nature art installations is gathering the materials! Grab a basket or something else to put items in and head out on an adventure! Some of our favorite materials include - pine cones, sweet gum balls, fox tails, cedar clippings, feathers, pebbles and stones, sticks, different colored soil, etc.
Once you have all of your materials, it is time to pick a spot for your art installation. This can really and truly be anywhere - your backyard, a special spot in the woods, on a stump, in your driveway, anywhere! Regardless of where you decide to build your nature art installation, it is usually helpful to clear the area with a rake or your foot so that your installation really POPS! Now it is time to create! For some serious inspiration check out Andy Goldsworthy's nature art installations by searching on google or in one of his amazing books!
We would love to see what you create!
