My Forest Is Green
La description
With art supplies in tow, a young boy explores the urban forest near his home and then interprets the forest through his art. A keen observer, the boy sees his forest as both “fluffy” and “prickly,” and as both “crispy” and “soft. ” Each aspect of the forest inspires a different kind of art: charcoal rubbing, rock art, photography, sponge painting, snow sculpture, cut-paper collage. With every new day in the forest, there’s a new way to capture it!
