Look See Paint: Earth Kit
Publisher's Description
Look See Paint is a nature-based, simplified painting program designed to connect both youth and adults to the beauty of nature. The program is endorsed by Robert Bateman, one of Canada's most famous wildlife artists.
The program is a lively experiential connection of heart, mind, and body, which introduces the "natureness" within us to real nature around us. Both contemplative and moving, our program emphasizes our need to be socially interactive as well as authentically diverse. Our goal is to help participants see "Nature as our Home" and see ourselves as part of nature, not just vaguely connected to it.
In 2–3 hours, we can learn enough about painting (outside and inside) to last us for a lifetime. Over 25,000 girls, boys, men, and women have experienced and praised Look See Paint since 1992. Over 40 schools in Ontario from Kindergarten to university currently use the program.
The Art of Loving Nature program can be presented by any positive person even without formal art training. Backed by field researched and proven effective teaching aids, our teachers come from all walks of life.
Several included elements work together to ensure the program's success. The materials included in the kit are professional-quality watercolour paper, brushes, and six high-pigment colours. The kit also includes an EartH-viewer, paper frames (mattes), and a hand-held EartH-easel as a portable kit.
The program offers a simple, refreshing multiple-step system that is easy to follow by both teacher and participant, resulting in a shared experience of success after the uncertainty of risk.
Whether it's a staging ground for philosophical discussion at university, or a rewarding day for a Grade 5 class in a local wetland, the proof is in the painting — Look See Paint works! Full or partial funding may be available.
