It's Elementary My Dear

Art From Nature

 This big guy was my welcoming committee
when I arrived at Camp Kysoc this week.

She was walking ...
 
He was following!

I went to Camp Kysoc again this past week to teach a nature craft, leaf rubbing.

I had 3 different classes with between 15-20 students in each
of 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students.











Took a short video of each group of students.
We had a great time as they learned about different types of leaves and how to make rubbings out of them,
how the leaves worked and what the different types of leaves looked like.


No two works of art were the same.
That's what makes it art.

I wanted you to see all my new friends and their work.


Lots of leaf rubbings going on today.
 

It's so interesting to see how different leaves
make different types of rubbings.
 
And then there's all different types of art,
created with copy paper and chalk.

Pressure makes all the difference in creating art.

There's lots of fun and learning in making leaf rubbings.

Creating art is one of the best things I know of.

  2. Thanks Julie. Funny what triggers memories. We think they're gone and then, they pop. We used to iron leaves between wax paper. I loved those. We did have a great time.
