Blossoming Almond Tree

I chose the three paintings above for the purpose of learning to draw trees this spring as they begin to blossom.

Books We Read

Here’s the last art/nature project of the Van Gogh month.  After doing picture studies of the spring trees above, we went outside to find trees and bushes in bloom and the kiddos completed their own spring artwork.

   These are great, Cindy. We haven’t ‘done’ Van Gogh yet – it will be great having everything together like this when we do!!

    Really lovely incorporation of ideas and resources. I also found your “Packing it up” post so helpful as I’ll be doing my first portfolio for the school district soon.
    Thanks!
