Fall Leaves


   I had to be out recently and for my sub plans I wanted to leave something fun so I came up with these easy leaf drawings and they look beautiful! On long rectangle papers (using up my scraps!) students used white crayons to draw leaves. Then they colored these in warm colors with markers and it's okay if you go outside the lines because it is hard to see the white crayon.  Next just watercolor with plain water and push the water around.

Allyson Winter
My name is Allyson Winter. I have been teaching art K-5 at CFES in Watkinsville, GA since 2004. I give students opportunities to explore classic and recycled materials and technology. I love art history, books, culture and travel. I try to include these in artwork throughout the year. I used the name the Blue Horse as a tribute to one of my favorite artist, Franz Marc and our mascot the Mustang!
