Kindergarten Leaf and Nature Collages
We also made leaf rubbings with crayons, then painted over them to experience the watercolor resist technique. We added these leaves to our collages.
On yet another beautiful fall day, the kindergarten class headed outside to collage objects from nature for our moveable nature "collages." We shared our materials to create temporary nature collages, which we photographed on the iPad before dismantling.
Our nature collage station:

Cardinal Collages inspired by Charley Harper
I've always loved Charley Harper's bright and bold images, particularly those of birds. When the cardinals arrive against the gray winter days of December, I find myself especially drawn to Harper's images of cardinals.
Third and fourth grade artists looked at Harper's work and identified the simple shapes he used to create his birds. We used colored paper to capture the cardinal in all four seasons.

Faux Leaves Stained Glass by Grade Three & Four
Third and fourth grade artists looked at several examples of leaf artwork, including Georgia O'Keeffe. We also examined Stained Glass Windows by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Then we went outside to collect fallen leaves to inspire our work. Artists traced their leaves on the paper to create a balanced composition. Then they traced their lines with black glue (glue+black tempera paint). When the glue dried (into a giant black puddle on my art room floor... oops!), they used warm and cool color groups to paint their leaves and backgrounds. We used liquid watercolors.

Wind Paintings
On a particularly windy day, Pre-K artists made wind painting using liquid watercolors and their own breath. We used short straws to help them move the paint with their breath. Some artists also experimented with turning and tipping the paper.
