Young children creating ephemeral art

Teachers can provide young children with a range of gorgeous natural materials for ephemeral art making. Ephemeral art can provide opportunities for teachers to talk to children about the aesthetic qualities of the materials they are using, as well as discussing design and patterning.

Inherent in this type af art making activity is respect for natural materials and children learn about the important place they have in the environment.

The video shows some examples of children's ephemeral art making in both the inside and outside environment.

Hi, i think your topic is really cool. I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter and I would like to teach her about environmental awareness. I am an artist myself. The problem is, I too need some education on sustainable art and living. How do I begin?
