"I am thankful" Gustav Klimt inspired trees.

Students are studying the "tree of life" painting by Gustav Klimt. They painted warm backgrounds w horizontal stripes using tempera paints allowing the colors to blend w each stroke. Then they used Chinese bamboo brushes to apply India ink trees w swirls creating Ys and Vs to resemble branches that reach up through their skies.
