The K-2 grade art classes created this fall/winter mural for the Winter Holiday luncheon. It served as a backdrop for a family photo booth. First grade students painted and crayon textured paper towel rolls to create the aspen tree trunks. First and Kinder artists created the cool color background by decoupaging squares of cool colored tissue paper onto recycled overhead projector transparencies. The warm colored leaves were made in the same manner by second grade artists using warm tissue paper. Then students traced, drew and cut out leaf shapes. The Kinder classes traced, cut, painted and glittered the Folk Art Evergreens. Mrs. Smith assembled the mural wall hanging.
