ABOUT THIS BLOG

"A Faithful Attempt" is designed to showcase a variety of K-12 art lessons, the work of my art students, as well as other art-related topics. Projects shown are my take on other art teacher's lessons, lessons found in books or else designed by myself. Thanks for visiting!
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I acknowledge, with deep respect, that I am gathered on Treaty 7 territory. I acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for generations. I respect the histories, languages and cultures of all the Indigenous peoples of Canada, whose presence continues to enrich our community.

Autumn Tree with Falling Leaves Painting


This project was inspired by THIS post from the wonderful Art Projects For Kids website.

Fall is my favourite season and we're lucky to have a beautiful fall in Canada!

Starting with 9 x 12" heavy white paper, Grade 4-6 students taped down a border. Then they painted a sky of their choice and then some autumn coloured ground. While it dried, students practiced drawing realistic bare branched trees and leaves. 



Remove the tape and then students drew their tree and leaves. 
I encouraged them to add a creative element of their own.




Then they coloured everything in using pencil crayons.



Some of the early finishers:
