3rd grade leaves

We did a lot with leaves...just ask the 3rd graders. We were all about fall!!! We did a painting of fall trees reflecting in the water. These are currently on display in the 5th grade/art room hall. 

We also drew leaves realistically looking at photos of leaves. This taught us to observe and look carefully at our subject matter. We discussed line and value. 

Finally, we studied texture in art by making clay leaves!
