6th Grade Tree Theme Projects

This was a choice-based project where the students were to create an artwork based on a theme. Trees were the theme for this project and the students had three full classes to choose and explore materials and create a Tree.
They had a choice to draw, paint, or make a 3D model. Since choice was a strong element during project, students were encouraged to work on a area where they felt strongest. This was a good confident builder. It was also awesome to see students learn by trying materials and techniques in which they knew nothing about.
Below are some pretty cool samples!
