This project is inspired by Austrian painter Gustav Klimt's 1909
painting
'Tree of Life' (pictured left). Students created their own
piece of scratch art paper (instructions
HERE if you need to find out
how to do this). They then used Klimt's painting as inspiration to draw a
tree which used the entire space and explored line. The end results
remind me of something from 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'.
Wow! Your students did so well. Love this technique.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this project! I used it as inspiration for a project with my afterschool art club. Some of mine found the scratching really hard and the black paint just wouldn't come off cleanly, even with a compass. Most ended up with great results though.
