ABSTRACT

This study investigates the interconnectivity between art and ecology within a Forest School model. The success of outdoor programming, like Forest Schools, suggests that other outdoor curriculum art-based environmental education could provide valuable learning experiences. Within this article, the author dispels myths surrounding a romanticized connection between children, nature and artmaking. The findings revealed that the symbiotic relationship between art and ecology within the Forest School model empowered the children in three distinct ways: (1) they became scientists/artists, (2) they made discoveries through collaborative efforts and (3) they infused art and science as they shared sketches and explored their environment.

摘要

本研究调查了森林学校模型中艺术与生态之间的相互联系。户外项目的成功，如森林学校，表明其他户外课程以艺术为基础的环境教育可以提供宝贵的学习经验。在这篇文章中，作者消除了围绕儿童、自然和艺术创作之间浪漫联系的神话。研究结果表明，森林学校模式中艺术与生态之间的共生关系以三种不同的方式赋予孩子们权力：（1）他们成为科学家/艺术家，（2）他们通过合作努力做出发现，以及（3）他们注入艺术和科学，因为他们分享草图并探索他们的环境。
