Entries
and Identification
Limit one entry per student. Each entry
should contain following items at the
BACK side of work:
1. English Name and the Name in your language
2. Date of Birth
3. Name of your teacher and the language
4. 2-3 sentences of your own language
(see Format for the detail)
Format
Paste the colourful pressed leaves (see
the directions for making a leaf press)
that you¡¯ve found onto 8.5 x 11in (A4)
paper, and tell us why you choose to make
that particular leaf art in 2-3 sentences
of your own language.
We encourage
our younger students, age 6 and under,
to copy down the words onto their own
artwork. Parents, please help students
write down the words they verbally used
to express their artwork.
Do not
cover the leaves with plastic. Do not
frame the art work.
Directions
for making a leaf press:
1. Cut 15 - 20 pieces of corrugated cardboard
25 cm by 30 cm in size.
2. Cut several sheets of newspaper the
same size as the cardboard.
3. Lay 10 or 12 sheets of newspaper between
each cardboard layer sandwich style.
These sheets will need to be changed every
couple of days as they absorb moisture
from your leaves; therefore, cut extra
sheets.
4. Use one, preferably two, stretch belts
to bind the press together.
5. Leave the press in an area so that
air can circulate & more quickly dry
the leaves.
