Find a sculpture:
- That is as big as a skyscraper. Imagine it shrunk to fit in your hand.
- That’s as interesting on the inside as it is on the outside. Why might it be important to think about the
inside of a sculpture? - You would like to borrow and place outside your home or school. What do you think your neighbours and friends would think?
- That makes you ask questions. Ask someone in your group your question.
- That helps you connect to nature. How else could you notice nature?
- That has a powerful message. What message would you like heard?
- That is about family. What could you make to tell others about your family?
- That has a group of animals, real and imagined. Which animal represents you?
- That touches the sky. How many times would you fit into this sculpture if you were placed end to end?
- That turns your view upside down. How does art make us rethink things?
Discover nature’s treasures and find:
- Five different trees: touch their bark and leaves. What do you notice?
- A long feather and a tiny feather. Why do birds have different types of feathers?
- A place where you feel relaxed. Shut your eyes and notice the sounds around you. How many different sounds can you hear? How many were from nature?
- A minibeast that has made YSP their home. Think about how many creatures live at YSP. Why do you think they live here
- A place where you want to take your shoes off and feel the ground beneath your feet. What do you notice?
- Seven twigs. Create a stick drawing for others to discover. What other nature treasures could you add?
- Something beautiful. Why do you think it is beautiful?
- Something that will change in different seasons. How do you change throughout the year?
- Something that has died. What else does this make you think about?
- Gaze out at the lake and watch the birds in flight. Imagine what they think about the sculptures at YSP.
