Back to Drawing!! Grades 4-8

We are back in school! Our first project was decorating the cover to our sketchbook. This year's group colors are orange, purple and green. Every class had the same guidelines of wavy line in middle, box on the wavy line, sun by their name as well of a zig-zag line, spirals and other shapes. Even with the same guidelines, everyone's unique style shined through!!
On the back side they had option of free draw and writing their name in different styles. Here are some of my favorites:

Fall Breeze brought Bare Trees

With the cool air, the trees became bare. The upper grades celebrate the change of season with their drawings of winter trees. The background was done with watercolor paint. They learned how to use salt and saran wrap to make designs with the watercolors. The crisp borders were done using masking tape.
