HOW TO DRAW a tree


Good morning class! Today we are going to learn how to draw a tree. Many trees. A forest of trees. A tropical tree.

I want you to take out your charcoal and charcoal tablets and we will begin on the count of 5.

Please note, that 1/2 of your grade, for the year, will be determined by how well you can draw a tree and or forest. Tommy, please do not draw any hula girls. I'm warning you.

5...4...3...2...1...begin.

  1. These magazines should be banned, ha,ha. Guaranteed to remove any creativity trying to get out. A tree to a child maybe something completely different than to an adult. This method is used in the schools here...guess what? All children (and adults) draw exactly the same. I could go on about this for hours but I'll stop before I fall off the chair.
