Nature Art-Venture

Nature Art-venture is a three half-day immersive camp to encourage your child to learn the skills and tools to de-stress and unwind through nature-based art. Personal Nature Art Journals for logging in fun farm facts will also be provided each day to encourage self-discovery, self reflection and mindfulness. Away from electronic devices, kids will nurture their creativity through activities such as:
 
Day 1 - Papermaking & Hone your Observation Skills
Learn how to make paper from recycled and colorful natural plant materials
Tour the farm and gather natural materials from around the farm
 
Day 2 - Land Art Exploration and Collagraph Printmaking
Create temporary land art installations with the garden as your canvas whilst forming a connection with nature and the environment 
Re-use plant materials to form a collage to make handmade collagraph prints
 
Day 3 - Nature Photography and DIY Plant-based Watercolour
Capture snippets of nature, parent to provide a photo-taking device
Paint nature-inspired designs using DIY watercolours made from colourful plant materials
 
Desired outcomes for children:
Learn how to use art and creative expression as a de-stressing tool
Cultivate a lifelong passion for learning and exploring
Gain confidence outside of their comfort zone to be future-ready
Find wonder in small, overlooked details 
Develop a deeper interest for nature/science of plants
Make new friends
 
Why should we encourage our children to play in nature?
There is increasing evidence that children benefit physically, mentally and emotionally from engaging with the natural world. Outdoor play in nature has been found to help children to:
Enjoy Physical Activities
Reduce Stress
Improve Mental Well-being  
Build confidence

 
Note to Parents:
The activity is designed for children to strengthen their confidence and explore a love for nature. 
 
We ask parents' understanding to allow their children to learn independently amongst their peers, and leave them in the safe hands of our instructors. 
 
Children will be guided in the activities, but will be performing tasks by themselves or with their peers, to help them elevate self-confidence, and learn the value of teamwork.
 
Parents will be invited to a mini art exhibition for the last 20 minutes of each day, where children will be encouraged to present their artwork. All the artwork will then be brought home by the budding artists themselves.
 
Suitable for children aged 6-12 years old. Sign up now! For the best learning experience for your child, only a limited number of spaces are available.

About the Instructor
 
The lead instructor for Nature Art-venture is our very own Urban Farm Educator Grace Chen! She holds a BFA in Painting & Drawing and has 6 years of experience in art education. She loves to engage with artists, and has experience teaching budding artists, of all ages and backgrounds - from preschool children to elderly, neuro-typical and neuro-divergent. She is familiar with a wide variety of art mediums; fun fact: all the murals at the farm are Grace's works of art. "I am passionate about art education and nature education because they are both spaces we can develop observation and self-awareness and enjoy working with our hands!", she shared.
