1st grade Leaf Collage
This is a lesson I saw on Mrs. Picasso's art room blog. She has some great ideas! You can see it here: http://mrspicassosartroom.blogspot.com/2013/11/warm-cool-swirling-leaves.html
My students loved this project.
We reviewed warm and cool colors and what colors we see in the Fall. Students then painted their 12" x 9" multi media paper with Mod Podge (I made mine with 3/4 glue to 1/4 water) and then layered tissue paper squares (warm colors only) onto the paper.
The last step was to cover the whole thing again with Mod Podge. I did a whole unit on warm and cool colors before this lesson so this was review. This took the whole fifty minute class period.
On the second day I taught the students how to draw a leaf on the back of their paper (look at Mrs. Picasso's art room blog for directions on this http://mrspicassosartroom.blogspot.com/2013/11/warm-cool-swirling-leaves.html).
I showed them "Starry Night" and we discussed how Van Gogh made wind in his painting.
I demonstrated how to put glue on the back of their paper (don't get to close to the edge!).
They then added the wind just like in "Starry Night".
The last part was to glue the leaf onto the blue paper.
This was such a fun and easy project for all!
