AMAZING AUTUMN TRIPTYCHS!
Students drew leaves then learned how to use watercolor techniques in order to paint them.
Next, they collaged a large board with tinted newspaper.
Students then drew tree branches on top of the collage using black & white oil pastels.
The last step was to cut out their watercolor leaves and attach to the board.
The end result was a mixed media collage!

"This piece that I created was fun to do because using watercolors to paint the leaves was different and I learned how to blend and make different colors just by using a small amount of paint . . . and lots and lots or water! Making the newspaper background with the thicker paint was interesting and gave the piece a more abstract feel. I personally liked this project because I love fall and all the colors."
