Using nature as our inspiration, students will hike explore a nature trail in the Rouge Park or Seaton Trail.  They will learn about various elements of art and principles of design using cameras as their creative tool. Pictures taken from all cameras will be sent to the class through google docs to allow for reflection and post Hillside activities.
