2nd Grade - Cubist Autumn Leaves

Wow, I definitely forgot to post this lesson! Although, I suppose this lesson could also be done with flowers. Here is my example:

Here are my basic steps:

1. Introduce Cubism (Picasso)

2. Have students draw different kinds of leaves - I project a picture of leaves on the screen for students to look off of.

3. As a class, split up the paper into sections using a ruler. We split ours into EIGHT sections. 

4. Have students go over their pencil lines in permanent marker.

5. Talk about Warm Colors vs. Cool Colors.

6.  Demonstrate how to color in the leaves using warm colors.

And that's pretty much it. I should have posted this months ago!
