The atelier

View of the Atelier at the International Centre - there are so many things to encounter

Here some decaying vegetation is presented in various phases of breaking down. The Atelier sets up the environment for the teachers to explore so they have recent hands on encounters with the materials rather than just presenting them to children

I love the idea here of exploring the repeating pattern of the cabbage - the drawing represents an observation of the pattern - 'the more you look at something in detail the more of the same you see'

Imagine children encountering this and exploring the drying and decaying fruit. The Atelierista is careful to present various stages of decay as well - this is so carefully thought out and presented to the children
