This was a two part project. The first day, I had the students create observational drawings of leaves (I am fortunate to have many tree options on my way home from school!) One by one, they each had a turn to make 3 leaf prints using white printing ink on black paper. The next class, we talked about warm and cool colours. I had them colour the details in the leaf prints, 1 leaf using warm colours and 1 using cool colours. For the 3rd leaf, it was up to them to choose which colours to use.
