Art Outdoors – Seeing and Sharing Stories Beyond Words

Art Outdoors: Seeing & Sharing Stories Beyond Words

Spending time outdoors with children we notice that nature communicates in so many ways – through patterns, colors, changing light, movement– telling us stories without talking!
 
Saturday, May 13, 9:30 AM to 12:00 Noon
Camp Kawartha Environment Centre
2505 Pioneer Rd (Trent campus)
 
In this workshop we will explore how creative practices and our artistic ways of thinking can support children (and ourselves!) to keep seeing and learning in the natural world, expanding beyond words. The vocabularies of art and ecology often overlap, and we will practice inquiries with approaches for educators with children 4-6 and early elementary grades, but adaptable to many ages.
 
The session will offer time for individual reflection and practice as well as discussion.   Participants will make a small basic accordion journal/sketchbook with paper pockets, which can be made with children.”

YOUR WORKSHOP GUIDE

Workshop Guide: Heather Thoma

Heather Thoma has worked in land-based settings and community education for over 20 years. With 4elements Living Arts on Manitoulin Island she was the Education Outreach Coordinator, organizing and facilitating programs for children and adults on trails, in parks, and indoors, in all seasons.  She contributed to 4elements’ book, “The Art of Land-Based Early Learning”. 
 
As an organic farmer with LoonSong Farm, she welcomed interns and school groups to share experiences of food-growing and the joy of having hands in the soil, planting, harvesting and wondering together. Currently she teaches weaving, and works with Student Nutrition Programs across Peterborough County and the Central East Region of Ontario, and is delighted to be coming back to land-based education and sharing with Pathway educators.”
