Autumnal Leaves by Room 3

Room three have been busy hard with Observational Drawing of the autumnal leaves in our school environment.  First, every child went into the grounds to find and choose 4 leaves to study.  The children initially sketched the leaves and wrote a short description of them.  Once the preliminary sketches were completed the children moved on to their final masterpieces!  An initial sketch was used as a guide for the children who used a sharpie over the top of the sketch to outline the details of the leaves.  Once the outlines were done the children used some gorgeous hues of red, yellow and orange dye to finish the leaves. Blue and green dyes were used as the background, signifying the sky and the grass.  Well done Room 3 - all the Teachers agree, your artwork is wonderful.
