Local Trees- Leaf study

Ms. Friedman's students in 3rd grade just finished a unit in printmaking of leaves of local trees. We got to sketch printouts of trees right on our very own Murch property. They later created printing plates of one chosen tree and printed out several copies to later trim and glue onto our realistic paper mache tree. I will post pictures of the finished tree in just a few hours.

These prints are so bold and beautiful. I love how amazingly different each one of them is. Look out for pictures of our finished tree in a few hours.
Each leaf is a different shade of green. Kids got to learn that they could alter the hue of a color by changing the amount primary color, white or black in that color.
