If we take an observant, child-like look at our everyday environment we can see so much available in nature around us. From the beaches to the hills, down our streets and in the fields, nature has provided us with a variety of materials that can be investigated, broken down, and used to create a variety of marks.
What tools can we provide with the materials to support further investigation? How is the material presented to explore?
What possibilities can an inquisitive mind find?... Where did it come from? How was it formed? Can it be a paste? A powder? A liquid?
What provides opportunity to create marks? prints? patterns? Is there a story? a narrative? further questions and possibility for deeper research?
