Create trees throughout the seasons! In this lesson, you’ll learn about line, shape, and texture: the first three elements of art. Enjoy works of art from the masters like Van Gogh, Signac, and more. Using lines and shapes, you’ll get to create your own works of art inspired by the masters, then color them to make them your very own. You’ll also learn how to draw funny, cartoon-style trees. Includes a short Bible lesson based on Psalm 1:3 and 1 Chronicles 16:33 and the folk tale The Tale of Three Trees.
