    • Drawing Inspiration from our Environment
    •   Drawing inspiration from Yvonne Domenge’s
        Sculpture Wind Waves, students are encouraged
        to explore the endless possibilities within their
       natural world. With a focus on winds and waves, students are introduced to the concept that Earths’ Natural Cycles are in constant flux, balancing and regulating its atmosphere. From this entry point, students are asked to contemplate how natures’ activities can inspire our man-made environment. This lesson provides connections to various cross-disciplinary curriculums.

    • Making the Ordinary Extraordinary
    •    In this lesson students are encouraged to
         explore how meaning is made within their
         immediate environment. After viewing the
         artwork, utilizing their surroundings (signs,
         objects, and advertising) students are encouraged to create
         meaning and poems from found words, phrases, and whole
         passages. What is the BIG IDEAS about "Echoes"? [View Video]
