The Ecology of Creativity

Module Two

 

Concept Stream:

Read: Yearning to be Round, Chapter 4: Life Lives in Circles

Artist/Naturalist: For this course, you will take the role of Artist/Naturalist. Go HERE, and thoroughly explore. See if you can discover an affinity for one of these artist/naturalists, living or passed.

Journal of Everyday Earth: each student will create a journal of art made in response to Earth Gifts and add to it at least three times a week. Create three Entries each mod, Post two. There is no expectation of polished work--these are in-process entries.

For Journal, Read Closely : Tips for Teaching Art

Mod 2: Write an entry about an earth-gift you have recently received that called up in you some association with cycling.
May be descriptive prose, poetry, or a writing/photo combination. Or post a drawing or painting (scanned or photographed), also, of course, apropos Cycling.

Caution: There is no reason to exclude the human from your journal.

 

 

 

Learning Activity: Do Recycle an Art Animal

This activity takes some time. If you do it by yourself, please give the time it requires. Do invest the animals with your emotions. If you can do it with students or a child, great!
