Aspen Tree - Winter Scene & Recycled Art
I was inspired by our chance of a snow day and only had a few days left with students. We wanted to get some kind of painting completed and I love doing things with the extra magazines and muddled newspapers in my room. I took the "Aspen Tree" project in a new direction. Let me know what you think. We did have a snow day, and the project was simplified (We didn't add any extra branches or extra snow banks.) Lesson plan took approximately 4-5 days. We painted newspaper with watercolor to create the blue background. Students made a collage using white and/or light blue pages in a magazine and modge podged to create the snow bank and torn newspaper background.

Looks great! Did you make the trees on a separate piece of paper and then cut them out? Were they on white paper and you used black tempra or watercolour?
