One of the most magical moments of the school year is the emergence of spring. Chirping birds, blossoming flowers, and newly formed green leaves fill our days with joy and our evenings with delight. Integrating science into art and design curricula enriches student learning. Using Google Drawings, students can create their own unique secret gardens—imagined places filled with insects, garden animals, flowers, and foliage. This is a perfect lesson to usher in the spring and engage our students in cross-curricular learning.
Art teachers and their students learn from, transform, and reimagine the places and spaces around them. Young students connect personal growth to changes in nature, elementary students create abstract faces inspired by Detroit artist Tyree Guyton, middle school students design fantastical digital gardens featuring insects and flora, and high school students use yarn to illustrate cherished childhood memories.
