3rd Graders Study the Shapes and Colors of Leaves

It is time to say good bye to fall and take a last look at the 3rd graders' fall leaves!
The third graders did observation studies of leaves and learned about overlapping shapes.
They painted their drawings with watercolors; exploring how to blend colors and control the paint.

After we did our paintings we pressed real leaves into clay and cut out our clay leaves.  It was fun glazing them and being surprised at how the glazes mixed after they were fired.
