Students were asked to explore the garden. Carefully rocks were lifted to observe who might be living there. Bushes were parted slightly to get a good look inside them and a few beautiful, colourful spiders paid us a surprise visit. Each student was required to paint one of the mini-beasts observed in the garden. They were then required to research what it was. Identifying insects was the highlight of this art project much to our surprise. Insect books were a favourite but the Internet was used as well... back to art projects
