Art with Nature Projects

Art with Nature means the scout uses nature directly in the process: through materials (like rocks, leaves, or soil), outdoor spaces, or natural forces (like sunlight or wind). The art may be built outside, designed for nature, or shaped by it.

Projects That Make Art With Nature Objects

These use natural materials directly in the art (like rocks, plants, or soil). These projects involve collecting, assembling, or growing with nature’s materials. The art is shaped by the textures, colors, and forms of the natural items themselves.

Projects That Make Art With Nature

These use nature as a setting, influence, or interactive element, not always using natural materials.

These projects connect to nature through location, purpose, or interaction. For example:

  • A sundial uses sunlight as part of the design.
  • A windsock responds to wind.
  • A light show or outdoor mural transforms a natural space.
  • A birdhouse supports wildlife, even if made from craft wood.
