Autumn Art Wreaths

These beautiful decorations were made by children at my Autumn Art Wreaths class at Katoomba Library. Using a mixture of textured painted paper and construction paper in Autumnal colours, students created the perfect ornamental artwork for this time of the year. We used some different Autumn leaf templates I premade, to trace and cut out (however I encouraged students to make their own leaf shapes too). The white decorative markings were achieved using one of my favourite materials - Posca pens!
