FALL is in the Art

Kindergartners learned how artists express the season of Fall in their work. They looked at many paintings of Fall trees like this one by Vincent Van Gogh:

Then, they created leaves using texture rubbings, collage and oil pastel. 
They used the drip painting method to "grow" their tree trunks and branches. 

Here are a few of the finished products:

Overheard

"Van Gogh is the MOST interesting artist of them all. I mean all the other artists are so boring. Like Picasso. He was just this guy who hung around and was like 'Hi. I'm Picasso. I paint. Woo-hoo.' Van Gogh cut off his ear and had so many problems. That is why his art is so great. All the other artists are so boring with their boring lives and boring art."
