Teachers Art Assistant
My art skills make kids happy
I am ok with that.
Next week I get to teach my daughters class
to make this fun Fall Leaf Art project
with pressed leaves and collage podge
I found the idea in a Sunset magazine from 2007
I didn’t follow the “rules”
when I made my examples
I never do. =)
Sunset magazine used color photocopies of leaves
I used real leaves!
it is really easy
first press leaves
next collage podge them onto cardstock
viola! Fall Leaf Art!
Canvas would be fabulous!!!
too expensive for public school art projects!! ha ha
to prevent warping I taped the cardstock down to the counter
while they dried!
I might be tempted to make one or two on canvas…
or have my kiddos make them on canvas??
They are growing on me…
I like them.
I think the kids in my little girls class will be proud
to take home this beautiful art to their mamas.
just curious…
Would you hang these in your house as art?
or would call it “kid art”?
and only hang it if your kid brought it home??
maybe I should ask this question after I try it on canvas???
=)
I think I have officially embraced Fall now.
The leaves get me every time!
Have a great weekend!

LOVE the colors!! I would stand them on the mantle with some of my fall’ish candles.

Loooove this art idea! Have fun with the kids next week!
Hey, I bought my VIA’s at a local Starbucks that was in a Target store-I’m pretty sure they are at all Starbucks. They are a little pricey though! Hopefully Costco will start carrying them…
Have a great weekend,

I cherish a framed olive sprig from Excy’s dad he snipped when in South Africa during WW II …

I would hang them up in my house…but would definately hang them up if the kids made them.

they came out great. I guess if it went somewhere in my decore I’d call it art, but I do have the boys art work on display in frames in my house too

They are fantastic, Fall is my absolute favorite. I would hang them in my house in a heart beat. When I go pick up my canvas on Tuesday I think I am going to need to get two!
Hope you have fun with your daughter’s class!
