OUTDOOR SCAVENGER HUNT
Being out in nature and creating beautiful things makes a heart happy. When you can combine nature, beauty, sketching and learning, it is a gift. This activity is designed to help you engage with nature, use your creativity and get you drawing.
In your sketchbook, or on a piece of paper, create a 3x4 grid. Make sure it is a FULL page. In each square you will need to sketch a found outdoor item. The sketch can be a full or a partial sketch with details, value/shade and, if you wish, colour. The example below illustrates a partial sketch of a pinecone. Doing a partial sketch allows for the artist to zoom in on a particular area of the item. Make sure that when doing a partial you fill the entire square.
Possible Outdoor items:
1 Textured bark
2 Multi-coloured rock
3 A bud starting to open
4 Seedpod
5 Old dried up berries
6 Animal scat (yuk, Mrs B!)
7 Pinecone
8 Dead or Alive insects (take photo for reference)
9 An antler
10 Tree branch
11 Lichen
12 Crocus
13 Needle patterns
14 Assorted leaves
15 Leaf skeleton
16 Trash : (
17 New growth coming out of the soil
18 Bird (take photo)
19 Animal tracks in mud

When you are finished sketching your 12 items, label the drawings, take a photo of your page and send it to:
