I love the work of young and modern painter Nastasha Wescoat. Whimsical trees that make me think they should be in the land of Dr. Seuss. I had to incorporate them into a lesson. I had the Third Graders choose a season, Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall. I then gave them colors of paint and had them paint swirls of color for a background. We looked at Natasha Wescoat's whimsical trees and painted our trees with her style in mind. Lastly, we added sequins to make the background shine.
