About this School Project (Grade 2 Trees: Exploring lines found in Nature)
Students looked at Ruth Takubo’s “Study Tree” (1991) and Jin Nong,’s “Blossoming Plum” (1760) noticing the way the artists used line to paint images of trees. They also noticed how the paintings were similar and different. Then working from memory and imagination students painted several images of trees. They mixed primary colors to make secondary and neutral colors. They were expected to depict at least two paintings that showed trees in two different seasons.
