4th Grade: Leaf Patterns

Fourth grade learned about pattern and repetition in art. We looked at a few famous art work and talked about why we think they repeated an image again and again. we also looked at some fabric patterns to help inspire our leaf patterns. I think the students did an awesome job on this project. I really love how beautiful they turned out!

Students started by creating their own personalized leaf tracer. They then used their tracer to create their pattern by repeating the shape again and again and flipping it in different directions. Then they used a black crayon to color a solid black background.

Once they finished with the crayon, the students were free to use watercolors, painting the leaves fall colors.
