Colour in Nature: Maple Leaves

All around us leaves are changing from green to vibrant colours, 
the colours inspire the creation of many beautiful paintings such as this one by Martha Zuasmer
The children examined maple leaves that had been collected from  outside and labelled the colours they saw: red, light red, dark red, black and orange.

Knowing how to mix paints to created desired colours is necessary if we want to reproduce the amazing colours we see in nature. The children helped mix paint and then used the paint to make leaf prints.
