Grade: Pre-K through 2
This was a study of line and nature. The children got to explore a mixed media project by first choosing leaves to make white prints with and then after they dried they were able to draw lines around the leaves to recreate the lines found in nature and in leaves.
You may want to break this into two days. First let the student choose a few or one large leaf. They then paint the leaf with white tempera paint and use it to make a print on the paper. Leave print to dry.
After the paint is entirely dry the children can start to trace around the leaf or leaves with a variety of colors. I found oil pastels were best for this step.
This was a great study and we had gorgeous drawings.
