There's something so special about letting the schoolyard become your art supply 🌿
In this activity, students head outside to collect berries, flowers, leaves, soil, spices and whatever else spring has to offer. They grind each material into a pigment using a stone, steep it in water and paint with colours they made completely from scratch.
Beyond the joy of it, students explore colour theory, material properties and the science of natural pigment and they keep a record of their ingredients and colours for future sessions. A genuinely rich cross-curricular activity and one of the best reasons to take your class outside this season.
