Winter Birch Tree Paintings

Here's a more basic version of one of my most pinned art lessons "Birch Trees in Watercolours".

I adjusted the steps to make it a bit easier for my Grade 5 students.

They used masking tape (covered in lint) to tape down a row of trees. They ripped small pieces of tape to add small branches. Then they painted over the entire thing using tempera pucks (you could also use watercolours).
