This lesson will start off with a mini lesson about the artist Gustav Klimt and his tree of life. The teachers will then show different techniques of making swirls. The students will then be instructed to create their own tree of life using metallic paint. Once the students are done painting they will be instructed to cut out at least three circles or squares that represent your family. My painting has five circles for my dad, my mom, my brother, my brother's girlfriend, and myself.
This would be a good lesson to incorporate language arts into. Once the students are done with their paintings I would have them write a story about their tree and in their story they must explain who each circle represents and explain why you chose the paper you did for that person. This would be a great creative writing lesson for language arts.
