Step 3: Finger paint your leaves
Discuss what colours are associated with each season before you begin. For spring, we mixed red and blue in a palette to create a pink shade. For summer, we used green. For autumn, we mixed red and yellow to create orange. For winter, we used blue to symbolise the cold! Use your fingers to paint the leaves onto the tree.
Step 4: Dry and display
Leave your artwork somewhere where it can dry. If you created your artwork as a class or group, discuss the different interpretations of the seasons and which paint combinations you used to create each seasonal shades.
