To start off the fall season I decided to do a forest floor themed lesson. 6th graders created contour line drawings of leaves and then outlined them with glue. We then went back in and blended them together. We went over a little bit of color theory to ensure that students didn't mix complementary colors together and end up with all brown leaves. I was really pleased with how they turned out. When they were finished I sprayed them with workable fixative and hung them in the hall to create a festive fall display. My full lesson plan can be found here.
