Prosiectau Dehongli Natur. Prosiect Celf Gwarchodfa Natur yr Holl Dymhorau

AUTUMN 2006/HYDREF 2006

This interpretative nature and art project aims to achieve an awareness of a local natural environment and its wildlife for school children, through observation and study in an artistic way. The stimulation of natural creativity and imagination through environmental art increases confidence and well-being for participants. The importance of sustaining and preserving the natural places and its wildlife is highlighted, giving the children a lifelong understanding and appreciation of nature.

Mae'r prosiect natur/celf ddeongliadol hwn yn anelu at greu ymwybyddiaeth ymhlith plant ysgol o'r amgylchedd naturiol a'r bywyd gwyllt lleol trwy wyliadwriaeth ac astudio mewn ffordd gelfyddydol. Mae symbylu creadigrwydd a'r dychymyg trwy gelf amgylcheddol yn cynyddu hyder a lles y cyfranogwyr. Amlygir pwysigrwydd cynnal a chadw lleoedd naturiol a bywyd gwyllt, gan ennyn dealltwriaeth gydol oes ymhlith y plant, yn ogystal â'r gallu i werthfawrogi byd natur.

The project takes place at two Local Nature Reserves each year - in both Pembrokeshire and West Glamorgan and involves local Primary Schools in each area. Nature Reserve workshops for observation, artistic documentation and the creation of temporary sculpture for each school are followed up with development and creation days for participants, resulting in interpretative artworks for the sites and for display in their communities. The season Autumn is explored and documented at the two Reserves by local primary school children. Nature at the reserves in this season is illustrated above (Mumbles) and below (Colby) together with resulting artworks by the children. Previous seasons - SUMMER and WINTER are featured on Schools pages two and three.
