Art Lesson - Metallic Trees inspired by Gustav Klimt


This week my K-5 art classes looked at the gilded paintings of Klimt.  We used black card stock metallic markers to draw trees inspired by his "Tree of Life" painting.  Concentrating on swirls and geometric shapes, the children created patterns on the ground and in the trees.  Some of them used real gold leaf for a finishing touch.
