Lesson Description
For one year, humans will not be permitted outdoors to give the earth some time to heal. Today you will be a designer responsible to decide what elements of nature will come inside with you and create drawings to express your ideas. You will identify and select a variety of nature place that you connect to. As a designer, you will consider the scale, and perspectives of bringing these inside. In your drawings, you will consider use of color when depicting your desired indoor experience. Your peer artist and the polaris community will be interested to see your designs, drawings, and paintings.
