Creative arts
Program
Nature's gift is an incursion program where nature and digital art intertwines.
Learning intention
We are learning to make a digital artwork that represents nature.
Activities
Art from nature
In the hall or large learning space, students will learn about various artists who use natural materials to create artworks. We’ll explore their techniques and tools, helping students understand how artworks are made.
Nature's treasures
Students explore their school grounds, finding inspiration in natural treasures like leaves, flowers, and stones. Each student will take photos of these materials to create digital specimens for their artworks.
Imagination workshop
Students will learning to create digital artworks inspired by various artists. They’ll review, edit, and enhance photos using iPad apps, learn to create layers of digital imagery with natural materials, and add drawings using a digital pencil.
Students will choose their favourite artwork to print on A4 photo paper at Field of Mars EEC. They’ll receive the frame and artwork at school later. Students must frame their artwork.
All artworks will be saved to Google Drive for school access.
