This week we had one of our most favorite Kindergarten art projects.... Twisty Trees! First we looked at the painting "The Mulberry Tree" by Van Gogh. We saw how the trunk was twisty and old and how the branches were twisty and curved. Then we made our own twisty trees using paper bags. After we twisted our branches, we added little tissue paper leaves in warm colors. Our trees looked very beautiful. We talked about how we could use our little twisty tree as a decoration in our homes to remind us of fall.
I am an art teacher in a rural school district and I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of the students I teach. When I first started this blog many years ago I had more time to write and over the last few years I haven't posted as much. Public education has been changing and I hope to offer some encouragement and support to others during the coming months. Thanks for checking in.
