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!
