Fifth grade student-artists in Ms. Dougherty’s class at South Bay Elementary School recently created their own birch tree designs. The students used watercolor as the background and drafting tape to make the tree shapes. The students learned about form and how to use shadows to make the trees appear as three dimensional. For added detail, the artists used oil pastels.
