This one is so blissfully simple, you can do it almost anywhere. In a wood, on a beach, in park or field, certainly on a campsite. No equipment required just some inspiration.
- Look around and see what materials you could use. It might be sticks, leaves, seaweed, stones, flowers (like daisies and dandelions).
- The collecting is sometimes half the fun so take your time see if the kids can find a good variety of stuff. Great for getting the little ones involved, they usually love collecting!
- Now, decide what your art is going to be. It might be a picture or just a pattern or even a sculpture. Just get creative.
- Start making – here are a few ideas of the kinds of things that can be created.
For even more inspiration check out the work of the amazing Andrew Goldsworthy – something to aspire too!
Arrow trails! Wish I still had my Spy’s Guidebook – excellent source of stuff to do with sticks, bits of chalk and random stones.
Yes, arrow trails to come…spoiler!
