Recycled art project: an autumn tree

Old newspaper, tissue paper, buttons and plastic caps. Nice colour of construction paper (I love deep blue) and some chalk passtels.

Rousseau's jungle

I found some photos in one of my old files.
We did this project two years ago. I prepared paper
leaves, flowers, trees and animals.
I had to cut everything out,
my students were to small to do it by themeselves.
We started from  Rousseau's artworks.
We talked about colours, plants and animlas.
And then everybody created his own little jungle...:)

Topiaries

 The idea comes from
paintedpaperintheartroom. 

Designing the pots was the most attractive part of the project for my kids. Most children painted the plant pots using not paint brushes but fingers.

The flowers were made of tissue paper

My tree

We stuck some pieces of  blue tissue paper and used  some blue paint- as you can see, the effect is really interesting. My Little Artists loved the way we got the shapes of the trees- squeezing brown paint out of the bottles was great fun for children:)
