Students used visual clues to learn about trees, how they grow, and why they look the way they do. First, students were asked to draw trees from their memory. Next, students did studies and drawings from Scientific Illustration books and Science books geared toward trees. Next, classes went outside and observed trees up close and personal, and worked with charcoal and pastels to create beautiful observational drawings...and yes, this WAS messy!
Here are some photos of the process and their work!
