Wild Investigators: The Science of art-making
Wild Investigators: The Science of art-making
What happens when we swing a leaky bucket of paint over a canvass? How many different paint pigments can we make using natural materials around us? How do we make charcoal? What will happen when we combine materials over the campfire? How can I use gravity to make the biggest paint splat? What’s the likelihood of squirting a particular colour gun when painting blindfolded?
We’re diving into the science of art-making as we head outside to get messy and experiment with natural materials and physical/chemical concepts.
Students will hypothesise, explore probability and chance, develop number sense and problem solve. They develop knowledge, skills and understanding of local natural materials and plant species while making large-scale and collaborative art.
DRESS FOR MESS!
Curriculum Links
Wild Ground education programs create strong links between outdoor place-based learning and the Australian Curriculum to ensure students are equipped with the knowledge, understanding and skills required to support environmental stewardship of their local natural areas.
Cross Curriculum Priorities
Wild Ground programs integrate strongly with the cross curriculum priorities of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures to ensure students are deepening their knowledge of Australia by engaging with the world’s oldest continuous living cultures. In using this conceptual framework we promote Identity and Living Communities and the key concepts of Country/Place, Culture and People.
