Autumn marks the transition from summer to winter. It is a time of year where the leaves change colour and the air becomes crisp. I decided to use a variety forms of art to explore the splendour of this wonderful season. As a class, we discussed why leaves fall from the trees, how leaves move as well as the texture of leaves. We began by observing leaves and their texture and then participating in an art project that involved sketching, rubbing, stamping and engraving the shape and texture of leaves on a variety of materials. We then discussed how leaves move in the wind and how and why they fall in autumn. The students were given the opportunity to move creatively to music using scarves. This project enabled the students to explore the topic of autumn through dance and visual art.
