Fall Leaves in the Wind . . . Amazing Art!

I absolutely LOVE fall! And I adore this art we did over the last 2 weeks, especially because each piece of art is totally unique. Students were asked to collect at least 5 non-crunchy leaves. We traced them onto watercolour paper, and carefully added the detail of the veins. Then, all the pencil lines were traced over with a Sharpie. Next, students used oil pastels to colour in their leaves, layering shades, if they wanted. Finally, the sky background was painted with liquid watercolours. You can see the art on Artsonia by clicking HERE. We've received loads of compliments from everyone that sees the art in the hallway!  :)
