3. Decorate your tree with media of your choice.
For younger students: Refer to the color wheels below and start by coloring in each section of your leaves with colors on the color wheel to create a rainbow from red to purple!
For older students/adults: With your media, add leaves of various colors, maybe add some apples or pears to your tree, etc. Think of the time of year and how the trees look, mix your colors according to the season. If you are using paint or watercolor as your media, use the color wheels below to color mix and create different shades for your tree, leaves and background.
P.S. Remember to sign your name at the bottom right corner of your artwork!
Have Fun! :)
