This document discusses ways to incorporate nature into K-12 art classrooms. It provides examples of collecting natural artifacts like insects, shells, and animal parts for students to observe and sketch. Scientific illustrators share how studying nature from a young age inspired their careers. Teachers are encouraged to take students outdoors for field trips and bring in guest speakers like naturalists. Useful drawing techniques for depicting nature accurately are presented, such as using grids and measurements. The goal is to help students develop an appreciation for nature through art.
Graphic Design study of symbols across culture. Focus on the symbolic style of Aboriginal Art and their cultural example of living in harmony with Nature. Students researched 10 ways to change our lifestyles to respect the Earth and designed symbols for modern practices in Aboriginal graphic styles. They transferred their designs onto possum skin cloaks - which was the practice of Aboriginal clans of New Sotuh Wales. They etched designs of natural surroundings and important life events into possum skin cloaks that they kept for all of their lives. We imported Australian possum skins from New Zealand (an invasive species on that island) and used the pelts to replicate the possum skin cloajs project at the Melbourne Museum. The modern cloak that we sewed represents the practices with which we need to wrap around our lives to respsct and preserve our planet.
STEM and Science Education Consultant, Dr. Diana Wehrell-Grabowski provides interactive keynotes for early childhood educators on the following topics: Nurturing the Young Child's Curiosity, STEM in the Early Years, Incorporating STEAM Practices and Content in the Early Childhood Classroom, Putting Curiosity Back Into Our Schools, Full STEAM Ahead, Making Science Meaningful, and Cultivating Strong, Curious, and Creative Children.

2. Nature in the Art Room I am a K-5 art educator teaching in Lincoln, NE. I am in my 19 th year of teaching art, 13 years in Lincoln, NE. I taught half time art for 6 years in K-12 in two different rural districts…while working on a M.S. in Art Education at Wayne State College, Nebraska. I enjoy nature, and nature drawing. I joined the GNSI in Lincoln, NE. GNSI is a group of illustrators that use art and science in their careers, part time jobs, or just love art+science. I enjoy playing cello, gardening, and reading. I don’t have a lot of time “making” art, so I enjoy art making often through learning about others and how they create and sell their work through this group. I get to educate children as I teach illustration with the scientific methods that adults use. I teach both during the school year and in the summer. This gives me time to draw, and to share methods with students.
3. Nature in the Art Room I work at Kahoa Elementary in Lincoln, NE is one of 36 public elementary schools. Two elementary schools in Lincoln do not have art. My schedule involves 22 classes. Some of these classes are combined, and classes range from 22-29 students. Our K-5 school is site-based, so the principal chooses to have art, computer, p.e. and computer on a four day rotation. I teach 50 min. classes. I feel very strongly about nature. I am an assistant director for Kahoa outdoor education. We fundraise and take 87 third graders on an overnight learning event. We provide school outdoors (fishing, canoeing, campfire) for two days, spending the night in cabins at a local camp.
17. Nature in the Art Room Live Endangered Salt Creek Tiger Beetles… In a Summer Course I co-teach, sometimes we focus on the Salt Creek area of Lincoln, NE. We study the riparian forest creatures and focus on salt creek plants/creatures. Sketching on vellum,pen/ink, and scratch board.

We decided to concentrate on the Riparian forest surround the Platte River. The Riparian forest is the forested area around the Platte River. It includes the sandbars of the Platte and the tree area next to the water before it goes into short and tall grass prairie. This is close to Lincoln so most kids have at least seen it while traveling on the interstate to Omaha. First thing I did was get the book The Nature of Nebraska: Ecology and Biodiversity (Natural History) by Paul A. Johnsgard. This book has detailed lists of species present in the different environments in Nebraska.
