What is a leaf painting? How to make it?

Leaf painting is a kind of painting with various figures, landscapes, animals and plants, which is made of plant leaves and pasted on paper. It is a handicraft art, full of three-dimensional sense. The making method of leaf painting is simple, and you can get the needed leaves locally without buying them, which is very suitable for primary school students to make.

The tools and materials for making leaf paintings are mainly pencils, scissors, glue, leaves and drawing paper.

The production of leaf painting is divided into five steps. (1) Pick leaves. First go to the nearby fields to pick all kinds of leaves. Pick more leaves of various shapes and colors so that you can go back and choose. After the collected leaves are washed, they are dried with silk and pressed into books. 2 conceive the picture. Conceive different pictures according to the shape characteristics of leaves. For example, the needle-like cypress leaves are similar to the tail wings of a peacock, and the oval evergreen leaves can be put together to make the peacock's body, so that a picture of "pride as a peacock" can be designed. The palm-shaped chrysanthemum leaves are a bit like the tail of a goldfish. You can imagine a picture of a goldfish playing in the water. Just tick the pattern you designed on the drawing paper with a pencil. (3) on paper. Select the leaves with proper shape, bright color and flat leaves from the collected leaves. Put them together on the table paper according to the designed pattern. 4 stick. Stick the selected leaves on the drawn pattern piece by piece. Leaves slip easily and don't stick easily. Before gluing, the blades must be flattened. After gluing, cover the painting with a piece of white paper, and then press it with a book so that it won't slide down. It is best not to paste, because paste can easily make the leaves moldy and discolored. ⑤ Label. The label is named according to the content of the leaf painting, the name of the leaf painting, the production time and the name of the producer, and a complete leaf sticker is completed.

Leaf paintings can't stay bright for a long time, because leaves wither easily. In order to solve this problem, some children fix the finished leaf paintings in a pre-made sealed glass frame and hang them on the wall, which is of great appreciation value.
