nature explorers: earth art

10/2/2015

​We've also been enjoying nature's palette of leaves at this time of year. We made some earth art, or ephemeral art, using what we found in the forest. This is inspired by artists like Andy Goldsworthy and Nils Udo. 

It's amazing how many different colours of leaves we can find!

Here is the site of some of our masterpieces. When we returned there this past week, the wind had blown the leaves away, but the frames were still there - every week this "earth art" changes, depending on the weather (and possibly passers-by too!). It's ephemeral, fleeting, changing, brief. That's why these photos can help us to remember - the brilliant colours, the warm days, the mosquitoes!, and the crisp smell of fall in the air.

We love this land where we play and learn: the sun that warms us, the trees that give us shade, beauty and places to climb. The plants that give us food. The creatures who teach us about how to live in a good way. Thank you to the bugs and turtles, the great blue herons and the tadpoles. To the fairy shrimp, the tree swallows, the pond snails, the newts. To the Jack-in-the-pulpits, the trout lilies, the goldenrod, the asters - all of you are so beautiful and teach us so much. To the water, which is life - the ponds, creeks and the Grand River watershed.
We are honoured to walk, learn, and play on the traditional territories of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Chonnonton Nations, treaty lands of the Haudenosaunee. Grateful for the ongoing care, stewardship, and teachings from Indigenous Peoples that help us walk gently on this earth. We are committed to the ongoing process of decolonization through partnering with local Indigenous educators in our facilitation, learning about the past and about good ways forward together, and respecting the land as our First Teacher.
