September and October


Week 8 October 25-October 29

Autumn Leaves Crayon Resist (Part 2)

Part 2 of the Autumn Leaves Crayon Resist Assignment is to paint over your crayon leaf drawing with watercolor paints. Give thought to your color scheme.

Some examples:

Warm color positive space (your leaves) Cool color negative space (your background)

Primary color leaves (red/blue/yellow) Secondary color background (Orange/Green/Violet)

Take your time. Allow the colors to "bleed" (mix together on the paper)

Remember you only have to show me your work on Flipgrid if you are a distance learner this week. If you are in person this week I can see your work in the art room.



Week 7 October 19-October23

Autumn Leaves Crayon Resist (Part 1)

Part 1 of the Autumn Leaves Crayon Resist Assignment is to find a leaf (or leaves) to trace with crayon on white paper.

Add the veins. Separate the negative space (background) in to several sections. Fill each section with a variety of patterns and shapes. Color some of the shapes in. Grades K-1-2 will do one leaf. Grades 3-4-5 will do a cluster of leaves that overlap each other.

Next week will paint over the crayon with watercolor paints.

The Flipgrid is only for those students who are distance learning. If you are "in person" for art, you don't have to show me your work on Flipgrid because I can see it when you are in the art room.
