EYFS Art in the garden
Using natural materials from the garden, artworks on a grand or mini scale are created to form a temporary art gallery.
Level
Duration
Allocated space
Inspired by the natural surroundings at Wakehurst and through examples of artists’ designs, pupils work in groups and explore their own ideas to produce ephemeral works of art using collected parts of plants and trees.
Through role play pupils open their temporary gallery, talk about their art and record it with photographs.
