Third graders have just finished up a multi-media fall project.  We began by exploring different ways to make lines, drawing trees with coffee stir-sticks and india ink.  The results were beautiful…the line drawings could have stood alone as finished art!

One of our inspirations for these tree drawings was from this blog:  iheartprintsandpatterns – beautiful ideas for decorative tree drawings.

We followed up with watercolor and oil pastel for our landscapes.

And finally….a little texture review and crayon leaf rubbing to complete our fall compostion.  (Doesn’t matter how old you are, leaf texture rubbings are ALWAYS fun and exciting to create!)

The final results….a beautiful fall inspired landscape.
