‘Wellbeing through Nature and Art’ is an art in school incursion program facilitated by Sarah consisting of nature-inspired drawing games, art exercises, collaborative projects and/or murals.
The program fosters joy, collaboration, and connection while encouraging mindfulness and wellbeing.
Through creative exploration, Sarah supports students in developing self-expression, creative thinking, cognitive skills and imagination - making art an essential part of the learning experience. The program also highlights the importance of visual literacy: the ability to understand and communicate through visual language.
By combining art with nature, the incursion nurtures curiosity and a sense of wonder, helping children connect more deeply with the world around them.
Working directly with a practising artist provides students with tailored support and first-hand insight into the creative process and how ideas are developed and expressed.
‘Wellbeing through Nature and Art’ is adaptable to suit different age groups, budgets and timing requirements ranging from one day to multi term. Each program is tailored to the unique needs of the participants, ensuring activities are accessible, inclusive, engaging, and supportive.
"A child can learn something about colour, about design, and about observing objects in nature. If you do that, you grow into a greater awareness of things around you. Art will make people better, more highly skilled in thinking and seeing. It makes a person broader." Ruth Asawa
