3rd Grade Fall Forests Third grade has been working on these cute little creations for the past couple of art classes now, and have been doing a great job! Materials: Tru-Ray construction paper 9x12 & 4x6, pencils, Sharpie markers, scissors, and Elmer's glue sticks. First, the students cut out their ground, and glued it to their background. They were to glue on the lightest green first, darker green second, and darkest green third, to create the look of aerial perspective. After they glued on their ground, the drew and cut out their trees. After they drew and traced the branches with a sharpie, they could glue them on the ground. We talked about overlapping and how to create the illusion of space when gluing on their trees. After the trees were glued, a few clouds and a sun were added to complete their project! Here are some examples of their work! Rebecca Katelyn
