Lower School Ipad Collaboration on Autumn Expressions

Autumn Expressions: Collages, Sounds, and Words – 2^nd graders collaborated in music, art, and literacy to create an autumn project. In art they used their visits and iPad photos from the Preserve as inspiration to create autumn landscapes. They created paste paper in reds, oranges, yellows, and browns. They created a horizon line and drew basic shapes in pencil and used watercolor to paint their background. 2^nd graders used their colorful paste paper to collage their trees, grass, cattails, and other natural items. In music class, they recorded rhythms on the Green Ribbon trail using rocks, stones, leaves, and the creek. 2^nd graders also created poems about autumn. Look for a video compilation of this project in the New Year!
