Fall Tree<br />
Ashley Vergara<br />
Grade: 2<br />
School: A.C.E. Academy<br />
for Scholars,<br />
Queens<br />
<strong>Art</strong> Teacher: Vicki Heit<br />
Torn paper, tempera, and<br />
crayon on paper<br />
STUDENT: I like to make art<br />
because it is all about<br />
drawing things, making<br />
collages, and other kinds<br />
of artwork. When people<br />
look at my artwork and<br />
its leaves they will think<br />
of the fall and they will<br />
feel happy.<br />
TEACHER: Using tempera<br />
paint to create a beautiful<br />
background for the fall<br />
sky, students practiced<br />
mixing primary colors<br />
to create secondary colors. They<br />
focused on the shapes that branches<br />
make as they get smaller and farther<br />
away from the large tree trunk.<br />
Construction paper leaves finished<br />
off our fall trees with a riot of color!<br />
This artwork took a few sessions to<br />
complete. Ashley was very excited<br />
about mixing the colors on such a<br />
large piece of paper, and painted her<br />
tree shapes as large as possible.<br />
