Milne Dam Conservation Park, Markham
I took all of my students on an outing to the Milne Dam Conservation Park in Markham this August (2017). They made sketches of what they saw and then created watercolour paintings from the drawings. It rained pretty heavily that week. I held classes in the park on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We got drenched a couple of times, running for shelter one minute and then setting up the easels and the paints the next minute. It was really stressful but a lot of fun for everyone. Here are some of the results from the age 10 to 15 groups. They are all wonderful!!!:
(Note: I also did this with the 4 to 8 year old groups. Have a look at what they can do. Wow!)
