Art In the Park - Tree Weaving Project

In March 2010 I had great fun working with children to create environmental art , investigating both  nature and art using natural materials . 

The children of Oughtibridge Primary  used their senses to experience the outdoors in a different way; documenting what could be heard and seen outside and developing sound maps, journey sticks and colour studies of natural objects.

After the intial investigations, the last 4 weeks of the project were spent on a gaint tree weaving project. Working in small groups,  brightly coloured wool and recycled materials were used to create gaint weavings which wrapped around the trees in the school woods . 

These weavings have added colour to the landscape during the last of the winter months and kept the trees warm too!
