Leaves, Leaves and More Leaves!

Fall leaves have officially fallen into the art room!

Students in Mr. Angelo's class had a chance to examine leaves up close, explore the use of line in leaves and feel the textures created by those lines.

Students began by sorting through and selecting leaves to draw from observation. After a quick talk about compostion, they then painted on the backs of these leaves to create prints over their drawings. The detail students achieved in these prints was truly amazing!

Students went on to create leaf rubbings to see how texture can be translated visually.

I really loved getting to see the different leaves and color schemes students picked to use in their art!
