Beautiful Birch Trees


 This is one of my favorite projects!  2nd graders were required to choose either warm or cool colors for the sunset background of their paintings.  We looked at some real birch tree bark, and some photos as well, to get an idea of the shape and pattern of these particular trees.  Students worked very hard to control the watercolors and keep color from flowing into their trees.  Many color mixing discoveries were made, and fun was had by all!
