In this one time class, we will create a fall tree painting using cotton balls and a clothespin. This is a simple and fun technique that even the youngest artists can do! This is a great project for preschool aged learners. 

I have the tree trunk ready for you to print out, so we will be adding the autumn leaves and some grass details. We will see what real trees with changing colors look like and notice how the leaves are many shades or red, orange, yellow, and brown. We will discuss how using multiple colors can help our art look more real and bring it to life! Learners will have the opportunity to share their finished projects at the end of class (if they want to- no pressure!).

Learners can expect lots of encouragement from me, as I truly believe that everyone can be an artist! The materials needed are listed in the materials section below. I would suggest that the learners have their work surface covered, as we paint all the way to the edge of our paper. I also recommend that learners have a grownup close by during this class.
