Forest Dwellings

In our busy 21st Century lives, it can often be helpful to take a step back and enjoy a quiet moment. With this in mind, I often ask my students to depict their ideal forest cabin where they might find peace and sanctuary. This idea of a rustic dwelling resonates with a great many people and often leads to beautifully rendered images. These watercolour pieces show a variety of cabins and some associated details. I'm going to include this activity as part of a longer unit on nature, and combine it with these other lesson plans, organic forms and leaf prints
