Teach Art Tuesdays - Leaf Peepers

I have a little group of preschoolers that do art with me on tuesday afternoons - they are so sweet.  Mostly we do a lot of "process art".  Sometimes we do get "crafty" though.  This project pretty much explains itself - except it is good to press the leaves before hand so they lay flat. 

There still is a lot of learning going on here - dexterity, and glue skills! Not to mention design and composition decisions.  They really got into this.
Check this one out:

Abstract

told ya - totally different right?
 My middle son is always saying  "Go Abstract, Ma"
 So I did and I love it.
