• They practiced drawing and representing these natural elements in their artwork.
• The child learned about the different colors and shapes found in nature and how to incorporate them in their drawings.

Encourage them to keep a nature journal where they can document their observations and drawings. Provide them with art materials and encourage experimentation with different techniques and mediums to further enhance their drawings of nature.
