Why Art & Nature?

At Leighton Art Centre we believe that understanding the relationship between humans and nature is one of the most important lessons of our time. We want to give kids a head start by fostering the creativity they need to flourish and become future stewards of nature. We also know that art is an ideal platform for making connections and creating deeper understanding.

How? Leighton Art Centre’s Art & Nature programs focus on the following philosophies and values:

Exploration: Art projects are a great way to try new things and risk making “mistakes” in a fun and supportive atmosphere. This makes us more resilient! We’re excited about the process as much as the end result.

Creativity: Let’s take this opportunity to see the natural world in a new light! Students will have the chance to discover the wonder of nature and express their learning through art making. We also know that students learn in many different ways, so let’s give them lots of tools for expressing themselves creatively!

Sustainability: Nature walks are a great way to discuss human impact in the natural world. We also use recycled, upcycled, and donated materials in our art projects!
