Natural object collage
Whilst you’re on your daily walk over the next few days collect
natural objects: pinecones, leaves, flowers, sticks. Use the objects
to create a collage, thinking carefully about the different textures
and shapes you can create using different objects. The art can be as
big or small as you like and would work well as a collaborative
piece with other members of your family.
Please send photos of your finished art to:
