Kindergarten Leaf and Nature Collages

 

Kindergarten artists created collages using photocopies of leaves on colored paper and oil pastels.  This lesson helped practice our cutting, gluing and line drawing skills.

We also made leaf rubbings with crayons, then painted over them to experience the watercolor resist technique.  We added these leaves to our collages.
