Tree watching




Year 3 students looked carefully at the trees in the school grounds.  They discovered that the trunk looked very thick and further up the tree the branches got thinner and were sometimes hard to see because of the leaves.  The students transferred this onto paper using pencil and just drew the trunks.  They learnt about shades and tints and used a blotting motion with the paint brush when adding the leaves.  They finally took photos of each other, deciding how they wanted to be looking up at the tree.  These photos were printed out and glued onto the completed art work.
