About this School Project (1st - Tree of Life paintings)
Students learned about the artist Gustav Klimt and how he used gold leaf to decorate his paintings. They specifically looked at his Tree of Life painting for inspiration. Students drew a tree with swirls, painted it with gold paint, and tore up origami paper for the ground. Finally, they used silver sharpie to add things they were thankful for in their life, and used the end of a paintbrush to add dots and shapes of white, black, and one additional color.
