On Facebook a local Art Teacher shared this idea for outdoor art project.
My granddaughter and I watched it and we both agreed it would be a fun project for tonight.
(I had disappointed her by going for a bike ride by myself before she came tonight.)
So, we set out to gather things we saw on the ground.
It is amazing what the idea of a scavenger hunt did for what we noticed along the way.
And, she had an idea of what she wanted to do - a Cat.
I decided I would create a bird.
So, we walked and weaved into the forest and along the road - keeping our eyes open for potential cat/bird like pieces.
I love her imagination. And on the video the Art Teach told a story, so Sylvi had a detailed story going as well, as she created her Celebration Cat.
My bird was quite flat and normal after her wonderful story.
She was perplexed why my bird was facing sideways and her cat showed its face.
Her cat had a celebration crown, streamers, and it was a surprise party that wasn't the cats.
I love her vivid imagination and how she jumps into every project with such confidence!
Thanks Melissa Hronkin for sharing your wonderful idea.
It had us outside in the fresh air for an hour and a half!
Art and nature naturally go together!
