SUMMARY:Voices from the Land:  Exploring Landscape and Language\, Art and Culture
DESCRIPTION:“Voices from the Land” is a creative process that encourages students to explore the connection between nature\, art\, language and culture.\n\n\nThe Voices process is standards-based and experiential. Voices builds “community” among people of different backgrounds\, ages and abilities: social and emotional learning are integral to the process. Communication\, speaking and listening skills\, compromise and respect… are essential elements. \nA Voices experience begins outdoors… as small groups of people (3-4 per group) explore a natural area: a meadow\, stream\, forest\, beach\, park\, etc. As the Voices process unfolds\, each group selects part of the site that “speaks” to them. Guided by principles of art\, groups create art from natural materials found on-site: leaves\, sticks\, stones\, mud\, water\, etc. After completing their art\, the groups share their art with other groups. \nOral language captured during this first phase becomes raw material for the next phase\, where groups use written language to create poetry. In the third phase of the process\, groups use performance art to re-cast their poems into performance poetry\, which they share with other groups. Digital photography documents the Voices process\, allowing participants to create posters/books that showcase their work. \nVoices has been used in schools across the US\, Canada and Europe\, with groups ranging from pre-school to adult\, and special-needs. Educators Erik and Kris Mollenhauer (Voices originators) will facilitate this hands-on workshop. In 2018\, Voices was recognized as “Project of the Year” by Virginia Master Naturalists for its effectiveness. \nTentative Agenda \nThursday night arrival is optional.
