live in a beautiful world. Our incredible living planet inspires so much of what
we see as beautiful in art. Come on a journey of learning about the natural world
and its celebration through art. Each day we will explore a different ecosystem
including the ocean, rain forest, wetlands, desert, and tundra. We will discuss various
plants and animals that inhabit each of these ecosystems and the roles these ecosystems
play in the health of our planet. Art projects will feature the ecosystem and animals
of the day. We will also learn about recycling and creating art out of "found
objects." Students signing up multiple sessions will find that we focus on
different animals and plants in each session. Teacher: Ivy Michelle Berg
