Guiding questions

In pairs/small groups:

  • What made you curious about this material?
  • What was the first thing you noticed when you picked it up?
  • What questions came to mind as you looked at it more closely?
  • How did working together help you discover something new?
  • What surprising detail did you find during creation?

With the whole class:

  • What new things did we discover about nature while collecting materials?
  • How did curiosity influence the choices you made in your artwork?
  • How did it feel to create something using objects found outdoors?
  • In what ways is this artwork different from what you would normally draw on paper, and why might that spark new ideas?
