I’m not sure why I haven’t done this already, but I made an online slideshow of a selection of student photographs from Fall 2011 at Howard ODS. I’m hoping to put together a printed book of them so each student can have one. Additionally, Kim Silva acquired 8 digital cameras for ArtODS, and I made a cue card so that any staff member could teach with it. Cosmos, a PL at Howard, has already taught several photo recreations this session, and I’m so glad. Anyway, Old News! But now it’s on the internet.

This student constructed a model of his cabin at Namanu - he said that he liked the rules on the skits at ODS so much that he decided to make himself follow rules as he built this cabin. One of his rules is that he needed to include seven numbers in the cabin - you can see a few of them in this photo.

This sculpture and display of a rough-skinned newt (Taricha granulosa) is by another NW Academy student - did you know that the average lifespan of a rough-skinned newt is 20 years? I didn’t.

This student made this model of her cabin, the forest, and the Sandy River at Namanu ODS. You’ll get the gist after 10 seconds of video, but watch the whole thing to see all the materials and intention and work she put into it!

Another artistic response from Andy Davis’ class at Northwest Academy- This student constructed the layers of soil, because she said that Soil was her favorite field study at Outdoor School. When you take one layer off, there’s a horizontal panel with text about that layer inside!
