Abstract Tree from Art Projects for Kids


I love fall!  I remember being in elementary school and always making a picture of a tree with colorful falling leaves in reds, yellows, and browns.  I do still like those type of projects, but this is a different type of tree picture - one without leaves, using bold colors (but, of course, you could use fall colors as well).  It's also a lesson that your older kids will enjoy.  This lesson teaches about positive and negative space.

Click HERE for the instructions.

Click HERE for the lesson on How to Draw a Fall Tree that is mentioned in Step 1.

Click HERE for a lesson/tutorial on positive/negative space from About.com.

Enjoy!

I couldn't get the lesson. If you have the lesson can you forward it to greatfriends77@hotmail.com? I'd like to use this for my art class but can't find the lesson anywhere.
