Future Hearts, Minds & Dreamers Nature-Inspired Visual Arts

By Chris Guppy & Zach Elementary Artists

This class encourages students to get outside in order to be creative. We use leaves sticks, stones and other natural objects that we find in the environment to create self-portraits and mandalas. We also try our hands at storytelling using rocks, creating sun prints with specially treated paper, and for older students, using natural objects and a hammer to dye cotton fabric.






Instructor's Name/Bio:  Chris Guppy- Since childhood, I've known three things: I love to craft things. I love to perform and I love teaching. After earning my BA in English and a professional teaching license, I taught English, Journalism, and Theatre Arts at my former high school. I left that job in my small hometown for the DC area, where I worked as a desktop publisher, technical writer, and graphic designer. I decided to return to school after I got married, but in the meanwhile, I directed a youth production of Godspell and performed with a dance group in my area. During grad school, I taught creative writing to local elementary students and a group of HIV-positive teens. Since then, I've been continuing to write and dance while raising my autistic son, including a year of homeschooling during the Covid restrictions. Now that he's a teen, I'm looking for more involvement with the community and a return to working with kids.
