The 6th grade students were inspired by Gustav Klimt’s Tree of Life painting. The students noticed how Klimt drew the branches of the tree and recognized where he took inspiration from mosaics and gold leafing. They practiced sketching rough drafts, mixing colors, and their painting technique.
The students outlined their drawings with crayon and then painted over them tempera paint. I think they turned out gorgeous!
Very lovely!
