How I Love Fall: Autumn Art Project
Fall or autumn is one of the most creative seasons of all! I just love all the colors- the earth tones and the fall colored leaves. There are plenty of art projects that can be accomplished just using leaves! So check out this Autumn Art Project:
An Easy Leafy art project for home- Leaf Rubbings!
Supplies needed are crayons, leaves with obvious veins poking out on their underside, paper- thin white copy paper is best. The crayons can be any color. One year my first graders used Crayola Metallic Twistables and their rubbings were quite pretty! A teacher can also use the rubbings to teach fall colors or even how red plus yellow makes orange!
The directions are:
- Place the leaf upside down on a flat surface.
- Place the white paper on top.
- Rub a crayon on its side over the white paper with one hand. Hold the paper and leaf under the paper in place with the free hand.
- Remove the leaf when finished.
- Repeat the above steps, changing leaves and changing colors of crayons.
