Last winter, I was introduced to the breathtaking works of artist Andy Goldsworthy. Mr. Goldsworthy creates what is called ephemeral art from the materials he finds in nature. He is inspired by what he sees around him, by the seasons, by the light, by the weather, by the natural world. He creates incredible works of art from nature and them leaves them to the elements to do with what they will.

Through the Lens: Explorations in Photo Journaling
My children are doing the most amazing e-course called "Through the Lens: Explorations in Photo Journaling" with Playful Learning's Mariah Bruehl.
The course uses VoiceThread as a e-community for all of the 50 or so students who are between the ages of 6 and 12. Mariah posts an assignment each week for the children that includes a photography component and a journaling/writing component. Mariah expertly combines creativity, critical thinking, writing skills, an introduction to photography and community building in this innovative experience.
