Students have been learning about contour drawing which is drawing
the outside line of an object. They have
also been gaining understanding of mixing secondary colors from warm and cool
primary colors. The students used these
skills to draw and paint the leaves.
They first drew the leaf then painted the inside with water. When the paper was still wet students
dropped in analogous colors that reflected the colors of the leaves they saw
while at Memorial Park.
The students then wrote poems using the words they wrote down when observing the trees. This was their first of many poems they will write this year.
I really love how everybody drawed what they see because Ms. Avera wanted us to draw what we see. Thank you everyone who did their job and who did what was asked.

Dear Annabella,
DeleteI agree with you, we did a great job and Ms. Avera did tell us to draw what we saw. She gave us a few leaves to draw and I think our hard work paid off! All of the leaves are beautiful and unique and I think Ms. Avera is proud of us.
