๐ย Bee Hotel
Over six weeks, artist Joanne Clark Joanne Ruth Clark Artist ย worked with Years 5 & 6 students at Malvern Springs Primary School to develop a striking bee hotel. ๐ฑ
The workshops began with participants learning about native bee habitats and their ecological importance. They then explored their ideas through drawings and 3D models, considering how to create a safe and functional sanctuary for local bees.
Through spatial problem-solving, experimentation and reflection, the workshop developed creativity and critical thinking skills in young people. ๐จ
The final result is a collaborative bee hotel created by Joanne and the students. An operational sanctuary where bees can find shelter and children can observe and learn from these important pollinators. ๐
This project was part of theย Together Creating: Creative Learning Artist Residency Program, proudly supported by theย WA Government, Ellenbrook Arts and the City of Swan.
