Fall Art...


This week the weather has quickly changed from sunny, dry and 70's to chilly, wet, and 50's. We have been spending a bit more time inside because of the rain so we've had the chance to get some "new" things out. This week we talked a lot about the seasons and the leaves and we culminated our discussions by making some funky fall trees. I used one of my favorite mediums, "Do a Dot Art" for this one! I drew the trees and the limbs and the boys painted the leaves. I think they did a pretty good job. As you can see they even made some of the leaves "falling" off of the tree! I can tell the difference in personality and age just by glancing at these paintings. Sutton took his time, had an organization and rationale to his painting. Shaeffer was also fairly organized and decisive about his leaves until he saw Sutton putting some on the ground. Then Shaeffer got really excited and made lots of falling leaves! If you click on the picture you will see what I mean :) I think they both did a great job! Next up, something with pumpkins....
