This Saturday, we will walk through the woods in the sculpture park in search of colorful leaves to use in our art project. Learn to identify the leaves of different tree species using a kid-friendly guide to trees of our region. Look for maple, oak, birch, ash, and more.

 Back in the studio we will look at artists that use leaves as themes or materials in their work. See a variety of examples including works by Andy Goldsworthy, Jane Hammond, Alex Katz, and Charwei Tsai. Then, we will use our own leaves to create a mixed media watercolor drawing. Children will trace a sampling of leaves then color with warm colors. After crumpling the paper several times, the drawing will be layered with cool shades of watercolor paint. Learn about warm and cool color families while making a festive fall artwork!
