Fall leaves

First graders are working on an artwork for their upcoming concert. In this artwork they are learning about different color groups. The color groups are warm, cool and neutral. We started out looking at artworks and talking about the colors in the artist used. We then looked at different kinds of leaves and the colors in them. The class finished up by tracing leaves and making sure the space was filled. 

The next class we reviewed color groups and began coloring the leaves in warm colors. 

In the final class the black frame was glued on and the background was water colored in using cool colors.
