Honeyeater Nature Art School

Both nature and art evoke a sense of wonder and awe. They provide experiences that enrich and uplift our hearts and spirits and make life more joyful. One of the best ways to connect with nature is to spend time sitting, listening and looking deeply. Making art in nature requires us to do all these things and leaves us with both a finished product and a deeper connection to the place we have visited and made art. Being in nature in such a deep way enables us to be healed and soothed, and also builds a respect and love for nature that encourages us to care for it more deeply. One of the best ways to encourage care and respect for nature in the next generation is to spend time making art in natural environments.
