Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Authors

Erin Quinn

Abstract

So she had decided to do her dissertation on the impact of environmental experiences on children's art, sense of self, cognitive and emotional abilities. She posed herself the question: Is experience in nature "good" for children? Or was it simply "great fun" to be outdoors? It was the 'thank-you' drawings that children had sent her that first sparked her interest in this subject-artworks which, in her words, "provide a fascinating lens through which to view children's mental and emotional development."
