Fall Leaves
We have been learning all about the color wheel and how you can use the  primary colors to create secondary colors, and we had a blast using Model Magic (which is similar to play dough) to create a three dimensional color wheel.  For this project, we continued to explore the color wheel and used warm colors and cool colors to create this beautiful fall inspired artwork.
First, we painted an abstract painting using only cool colorsThen, we used only warm colors to paint beautiful fall leaves.  We worked on our cutting and gluing skills to put it all together!



 



Awesome work 1st grade!!
