Nature is man's teacher. She unfolds her treasures to his search, unseals his eye, illumes his mind, and purifies his heart; an influence breathes from all the sights and sounds of her existence. ? Alfred Billings Street
Traditional educational studies have us learning 'about' nature as if it is an object separate from us. With the Law of Oneness in mind, the variety of species making up the whole of nature are all connected and all have unique intrinsic value. Humans are just one of these species and we do not need to go far, Principles of Art including balance, emphasis, movement, rhythm, variety abound naturally. Elements of Art including shapes, value, space, color, patterns and textures are readily available all around us. Our human challenge is to practice deep observation, deep inspiration and deep experience in with all of our senses. Join us as we rediscover learning with profound feelings of reverence and with enthusiasm the designs and systems existing in Nature.
