Earth Day Celebration!

Post Contributed by Jocelyne Adkins, Program Director

Hi Families,

For Earth Day, we asked our students to celebrate the "everyday beauty" they find in nature. Maybe it is found in the quite moments: observing the magical nature of a butterfly or firefly; maybe it is enjoyed sitting under a favorite tree to read a book or to sketch on a hot summer day; or when collecting worn and weathered stones along the lakefront. For others, beauty may be experienced on the field playing sports, riding a bike through the neighborhood, or zipping along on a skateboard through the park.

For the student's project, we supplied them with stretched canvas, repurposed postcards and catalogues for collaging, colored pencils and watercolor.  In their artwork, you will see a number of trees, butterflies and flowers; a river with large stones; a couple rainbows; and a field.  We hope that this artwork will be displayed at home, as a reminder of the simple beauty our earth possesses!
