A Tree Grows in the Bronx - Family trees with PS 4 (part 2)

 




What do you notice? 

1. How does it feel to know there are as many different kinds of trees as there are butterflies, buildings, people?
2. How do you describe the textures on these trees? By shapes? By how they feel? 
3. How might we make something that shows a texture? 
4. What kind of texture for our family tree do you think you might want to explore?



Trees I made out of cardboard for a movie - translating textures:




Main Task for the Day - Making our Family Tree

1. Cut out pre-outlined tree shape as a group (is more intense then cutting butterfly out, will require slow pace and group support)
2. Begin layering slivers of brown shades of paper - apply glue to tree cut out first, then cover glue with pieces
3. Goal is to have covered every bit of the original white cut out, so our tree looks alive - explore and make choices about color and pattern and movement
