2nd Graders love Gustav Klimt!

 This project has evolved through the years, from a realistic tree drawing with traditional fall colors, to a Klimt inspired tree with gold, silver, and a bit of sequin bling.  The highlight for students is printing with real leaves, which is accomplished at a station, and takes 2 classes to complete.  The kids also have fun using various hole punchers to create the leaves, although gluing them is a bit tricky (toothpicks and elmers glue).  All students were successful in drawing this type of spiral tree, whereas the former realistic tree was a struggle for some.  Success for all - that is my goal!   These trees are truly stunning!
