Our Summary* of requirements:
- Observe and record what you see in nature (compare indoor and outdoor performance, draw same scene in different seasons) OR talk to an artist that makes nature art.
- Make something nature inspired (natural dyed shirt, clay art, plantable seed paper).
- Use nature inspiration to make music or dance (recreate nature sounds, playlist, rap/poem).
- Take photos (pattern/texture close ups, hike journal, something blended into it’s surroundings)
- Make art with nature (suncatcher, sundial, pinwheel, windsock, design something you can live in/provides shelter, design a miniature golf course in the snow, design—and grow—a square-foot garden).
* – This summary is based off the GSUSA booklet activity choices.
