Autumn leaves with tissue paper

What do you need?

• white drawing sheet
• tissue paper in autumn colors
• brush
• jar with water
• white crayons

Before
Look at different shapes of autumn leaves. Discuss shapes and colors. 

What should you do?

1. Draw different leaves on the sheet with white crayon. 
2. Tear parts of tissue paper (not too small) in autumn colors. 
3. Stick the pieces by wetting the sheet part by part and laying them in it. Watch out: no two same colour pieces next to each other. Be sure the tissue paper is wet enough to bleed.

   4. Let the artwork dry a little. 
   5. When it's still moist a bit, pull of the tissue paper. You can use tweezers           to avoid colored fingers!
