This is a great way to introduce students into the changing of seasons. First students used watercolors to paint the backgrounds. Then they used different media to make the different apple trees during each season. They were able to use markers, paint, crayons, paper, glitter, and cotton balls. After they had added all of their leaves, apples, snow, and buds to the trees they put it onto a black or brown piece of paper so that it would look like a window.
Extension: This art lesson pretty much went through the life time of a tree. Students could do the same thing with any other organism. They could show a snake losing their skin during certain times of their life. They could also use it as the life cycle of an animal from small to larger; this would be great to do with toads because their body changes drastically throughout their life. Students will be allowed to use different types of media to demonstrate the changes throughout a animal's life.
