We are going to try and get outdoors a bit more this month. Today was a beautiful clear day with only a little wind, a good day for some leaf art.
We went out and gathered leaves of different shapes and colours for the play ground. First we created designs and patterns with the leaves, thinking about colour and shape.
After that we cut leaves in half and sketched in the other half, trying to match the veins and shade and blend colours.
The class enjoyed working outdoors and identified some of the reasons:
It felt peaceful, calm and relaxed. We had better concentration. We felt free. We could sit beside different people had more choice and enjoyed working with nature.
We will be adding all of our work to the blog soon to the Art Gallery and add links from here.
