Outcomes
  • Think about it: identify, describe and reflect on contemporary perspectives and historical influences in the art and horticulture arena.
  • Look around you: closely observe the plant world, the garden, nature, and our relationship with all of it. Notice the processes happening in the plant world and learn to perceive them more sensitively: growth and decay, the flow of water, the changes of light and the season, and the numerous ways in which plants can be used to influence, or to be made into, art.
  • Express yourself: move outside your familiar comfort zone to engage in self-expression, and discover the ways in which creative exploration can positively impact the way you feel.
  • Contribute: consider how engaging in art and horticulture can make you a better world citizen, and how horticultural art be employed to impact the consciousness of the public.
  • Make it: figure out the "mechanics" and horticultural challenges required to create a final project, a work of art all your own.
  • Studio-option only: Connect with others: collaborate to produce a variety of art forms for private enjoyment and public display.
