My student will be using a paper they previously painted abstractly using fall colors to trace, cut out and glue into a pleasing fashion onto cardstock to create a fall leaf picture

Art

• The student learned to paint abstractly using fall colors.
• They practiced tracing and cutting out shapes to create their fall leaf picture.
• They explored arranging the cut-out shapes in a pleasing fashion on the cardstock.

For continued development in art, encourage the student to experiment with different painting techniques and color combinations. They can also explore other subjects or themes to create abstract art. Encourage them to think about composition and how different elements can be arranged to create a visually pleasing artwork.
