2nd Grade Birch Trees

Students created their own bark using white paper and black tempera paint focusing on texture.

Students used their bark to create 6 trees with 2 in the foreground, 2 in the middle ground, and 2 in the back ground focusing on space.

Gustav Klimt 1862-1918

Students based their birch trees on art work by Gustav Klimt from Austria. They were amazed by the realistic appearance of Klimt's beautiful trees.
