Artists designed the outdoors with mats that ask for a specific movement. Artists then dance throughout the space and perform a unique dance made by one artist. 

Everyone writes a motion on a colorful piece of paper. We trade papers then organize them in an order for a dance piece. We practice performing the dance with each other, then guess each other's motions we performed.

We took our handmade journals into the garden every week to document the transformation of the garden during the program. This opened up the conversation about respecting plants and living things. Exercises in looking and drawing challenged the students to look at the shapes and the patterns of our surroundings. They also interviewing plants to develop a deeper relationship to the changing plants. We took the journals inside and made visual projects to help cement the imprints of the colors and patterns we drew.

After interviewing and observing a plant, students then drew the outline of the plant with the words they collected creating a visual poem.   

We took photographs of patterns outside as well as in the classroom. We then made collages based on various patterns we found. 

We transformed the classroom into a playspace by making a visual sculpture from everyday classroom items as well as additional objects. Each student got to add and/or take away materials.
