Demonstrate through a series of direct drawing and individual practice sketches a basic understanding of how to draw a tree in a landscape.
Once students feel comfortable with the elements and composition, they draw their final image with white glue on black paper. Chalk pastels are used to add the color and detail to complete the project.
Students can express realistic colors found in nature or a more Fauvist approach to color/pattern.
Supplies: pencils, sketch paper, black construction paper, white glue in tubes, chalk pastels. Art prints and class handout of famous landscapes provide additional support to the student success of this project.
