STRIPED COLORING.
Coloring silhouettes using the CONTRAST STRIPS method looks very nice. That is, we take a regular coloring book with leaf templates and draw straight lines on top of the picture under a ruler. And then we paint all the objects on the sheet alternating these linear zones by color.
In the example below, we see that the coloring is drawn using a compass (round lines) - but these are not necessarily your lines, you can make them with a straight school ruler.

You get the feeling of STAINED GLASS... as if the picture was made up of multi-colored pieces of glass. But in fact, this is ordinary watercolor, or crayons, or a pencil (your choice).
As you can see, everything is simple. We take a sheet template and divide it into sectors. We paint each sector with its own color (you can use smooth transitions spills of shades from one to another) And then we outline the entire contour of the sheet along the edges with a clear color.
To make your work easier, I provide leaf TEMPLATES with ALREADY READY sector sawing.
You can simply print out these pictures and give them to the children and ask them to color each sector with crayons. different color. To make coloring faster, you don’t have to change the chalk in your hand every time you move to a new sector. Show the children that it will be faster if you first take a red chalk and color 5-7 different sectors with it (not adjacent ones, but randomly). Then take a yellow chalk and also randomly fill in 5-7 other sectors. It will be faster this way, and you will fit within the time frame of the art activity class.
Large leaf templates can be filled in with a thin brush and watercolor or gouache (like the stencil below).

- Willow (willow) is the oldest representative of this noble family. Scientists consider the willow to be one of the oldest trees on our planet - imprints of its characteristic elongated leaves were found on Cretaceous deposits more than several tens of millions of years old.
