Mother & Child Bonds – A Mother’s Day Tribute Through Nature

This Mother’s Day, we invite Fine Art & Public Speaking junior artists to take part in a meaningful and imaginative 4-lesson art curriculum project that explores the universal theme of motherhood and love — not only in our families, but beautifully reflected in nature.

This inquiry-based art project uses the powerful metaphor of animals to help children understand and appreciate how love, care, and nurturing can be seen all around us — in the way a mother elephant protects her calf, how a bird feeds her chicks, or how lionesses raise their young together.

Through thought-provoking discussions and observations, students will be guided to:

• Identify and choose an animal that best reflects their perspective of the essence of motherhood

• Reflect on how love is shown in different forms and relationships
