What do you see? I see leaves that don’t look perfect, they look like the leaves that I pick up off the ground that have fallen from a tree. Look at the yellowish-brown rectangle shapes behind the leaves, the color is fading like an old fragile sheet of paper. Also, the leaves are painted in a pattern, 5 across and 4 down, it reminds me of a quilt square where a story is being told.
The sketch prompt is to pick up a leaf from the ground, one that has fallen from a tree. Sketch the leaf on a sheet of paper. How do you convey the leaf is starting to deteriorate?
Time to TALK. The title of the artwork is The End of Nature is Nature. What do you think the artist is referring to?
