France-Ecole Maternelle Saint Exupéry – Land art : artistical creation with natural elements

On 12th of November, 23 pupils aged 2 ½ and 3 years old went to the park Jean Vitold close to our school. They gathered pine cones, pieces of wood, feathers, moss, leaves, branches… It was the very first time we all went outside therefore many parents came with us to look after children and enjoy the time spend together.
First of all they experienced to look at the park. They looked with frames to isolate few elements such as leaves, moss… they had look with magnifient glasses and mirrors to enlarge their own view.
When they went back to school they organized the natural elements in order to create an artistic personal creation.
Like land art we wanted to have memories of these ephemeral creations so we took photographs in order to organize an exhibition in our kiosque.
