Exploring Tenerife landscape,looking at the old stepped farm fields, the cactus, hunting for lizzards and grasshoppers

Art

• The child learned about the shapes, colors, and textures of the landscape and natural elements such as cactus, lizards, and grasshoppers.
• They observed the patterns and designs of the old stepped farm fields and could use these as inspiration for their own artwork.
• They may have sketched or taken photographs of the landscape, providing visual references for future art projects.
• The child may have used natural materials found during the exploration to create a nature-inspired art piece.

Encourage the child to create a nature-themed art journal, where they can document and draw their findings from different outdoor explorations. They can also practice creating different textures and patterns inspired by the landscapes they encounter.
