Leaf Thief

**Dear Parents,** I hope this message finds you well! I am excited to share details about this special art project that your child is currently working on, which has been selected as my highlight project for Semester One. This project will not only celebrate your child’s creativity, but also encompass critical elements of art, including line, shape, color, texture, space, and collage. Project Overview: - **Drawing:** Students will begin by drawing a squirrel through step-by-step directions. - **Coloring:** They will learn to apply colors skillfully with the focus being on craftsmanship. Coloring in small areas neatly and using vibrant shades that evoke feelings and set the tone of autumn. - **Painting:** This element allows for the exploration of color mixing and blending with water techniques. The warm colors of yellow and orange blend together nicely with the use of liquid watercolors. - **Collage:** Students will gather diverse materials and textures, integrating them into their work to create depth and interest. I am looking forward to showcasing these wonderful projects here on Artsonia, where families have the opportunity to appreciate the hard work and creativity of our young artists. Thank you for your support as we embark on this exciting artistic journey together!
