Outdoor Education and Art (& Inktober)

Inktober is an artist’s challenge to draw a given daily prompt and post on social media. It is an exercise to practice drawing daily and a challenge to stimulate the imagination. As an outdoor educator, I noticed that nearly all of the Inktober prompts can be illustrated using nature based learning. This is exciting for me, because I love the subject! I am working from reference photos that I have taken (with exception) and keeping it simple using a portable journal. I will post once a week. Here are the first seven prompts! I hope you enjoy!

1. Backpack

I used a reference photo of a student and really liked how it turned out.

2.  Discover

I got a headstart and penciled the first one, but didn’t like it, so I did a second one. That is a magnifying lens, not a spoon.

3. Boots

Each day during rest, our preschoolers get/need/want a rest after our busy morning! Here is a tray with some of our boots. Boots are hard to draw!

4. Exotic

The kids love running from prehistoric monsters!

5. Binoculars

Even though we have a wonderful Bird Watch Station with binoculars and a monocular, I didn’t have any good references, so I had to use a random interwebs image for reference. 

6. Trek

By definition, it is a “long arduous journey, especially one made on foot”. Just another day at our preschool!

7. Passport

Nature education is a passport to adventure and learning!

Thanks for hanging out with me! I'll see you soon!
