We will start the day off by taking a short nature walk on the property via our mowed walking trails and collect a variety of leaves, flowers, branches etc which we will use for both projects.  We will create a clay mold with the use of pressed botanicals and cast plaster to create a sculpture releif that can be hung on a wall to display.  We will take a break for lunch  midday.  After a short lunch break, we will learn the basics of printmaking with the use of gelli plates and found botanical objects. We will also use watercolor and acrylic paints to add interest and detail to both of our botanical projects at the end of the day. Children will bring their completed projects home.Â
