Well schooled

A group of Hotel Brucers visited Charles Lake Elementary School to see how the kids feel about nature in their urban environment.

Words by Alison Ball

In order to create a connection to the natural world within the classroom, I used specimens of skulls, skins, animal mounts, insects and plants from the CMNH teaching collection.

The city is more than just bricks and mortar, market economies and industry; it is also a habitat for a wide variety of ecosystems.

Curious to see the reaction to the word “environment”, we asked the students to brainstorm about their environment through art and words on paper.

An unforgettable experience for the students to learn about the nature that abounds in the Glenville neighborhood, including the urban oasis of Dike 14.

What's
Raw Materials?

We’ll take you inside the studios, sketchbooks and minds of Cleveland’s artists, writers, photographers, R&D scientists, computer geeks, social workers, and more, for a look at the new, sometimes unfinished work there. And we’ll post calls for entry to emerging artists to display their work.
