A walk outside was all it took for us to collect wood chips fallen
from a branch that was cut off a tree. We were not sure of what to do with them
but who could resist such interesting shapes and texture? Now that we are doing
an art unit and talking about art and art mediums all it took was for one of
the students to browse our box of artwork photographs and make a connection between
our wooden chips and the work of Karel Appel entitled “Questioning Children”.
