Fall Leaf Drawing

😀 🔨

This project is a nice project to do for fall. It uses chalk markers, so it adds a cool affect. I love this as fall decoration or a way to brighten up any room. 


For this project you will need...  

• chalk markers (various colours)
• leaves
• a large book (nice and thick, hardcover dictionary works good)

1. Go out and collect a large leaf. Press the leaf in your big book. Leave it there for maybe a week, or until your leaf is dry and flat. 










2. Activate your chalk markers if they are not already activated. It will show you how to activate them on the package. Pick out your colours. You can do whatever colours you want, but do not use a colour that is the same as your leaf. If you use a colour that is the same colour as your leaf, but in a different shade, it adds a cool affect.

3. Begin drawing. When you use chalk markers, they sometimes smudge if you do not wait for it to dry.  Draw whatever you want to. 

You can be creative and draw whatever you want. Here are a few examples from people all ages of some designs to get you started. 

      

                                                                Jack-o-Leaf. 


 This is a very festive outtake on this project. Using your orange chalk marker, trace all the veins in the leaf that you can see. Use the very tip of the marker. Let dry. Then, add a face with a black chalk marker. Fill them in and, your done. Make three more and you will have a set. 

Try putting on a tree, the leaves are the right shape.  

Draw squiggles or whatever you want. 

Trace the stem and make patterns.

          That is the end of my blog post today. I will post again this month sometime. I don't really have any other announcements. I hope you all have a good Halloween or other celebration. I will see you in a little bit then. Bye.
