EPHEMERAL ART is a work of art that only lasts for a short amount of time, perhaps occurs once, and cannot be embodied in any lasting object. It can be a sculpture, performance art, or a temporary design such as mandalas.
Creating art inspired by nature helps children express themselves, tune into the natural world, and also to express their own appreciation of nature. Nature art can also enhance nature connection in a child, as one recent study found.
The beauty of ephemeral nature art is that it can teach children that not everything we value has to be material. Not everything we create has to be taken home or even returned to. The process of making art is fulfilling enough to be the focus at times. Creating ephemeral art teaches kids about the impermanence of life and nature, as the most beautiful things such as a winterscape or a sunset aren’t permanent. More than an image seen with our eyes, ephemeral artwork is an actual moment in time.

The fern sporeling shown below is one of hundreds of native seedlings and sporelings that germinated under the low loose ground cover provided by Tradescantia, and was released not by us, but by the owner, who recognised the potential of a weedy area under native tree canopy.
