Leaf Lines

The early elementary classes have started the school year studying the Elements of Art and Principles of Design. Our first project was centered around studying lines as well as patterns.

In our first meeting the students collected three leaves outside on the school grounds. They were then asked to trace the leaves, add outlines up to the edge of the paper, and patterns on the inside of the leaves. This was a great design lesson to get to know the student individually. From this lesson I was able to understand their art background, how they handle the materials and care of their own work. I'm really excited to spend the year with this talented ground of young artists!
