Happy Spring EquinoxToday marks the first official day of the spring season! In our previous post, we shared some of the ways in which the Brown Room children have been researching and noticing early signs of spring. Throughout our research, we have been paying close attention to the gorgeous magnolia tree on our school's front lawn. There’s pink leaves! - Betsy It’s pink flowers. Seeds grow trees. - Lily Seeds grow something. - Gus An early bloom paired with recent cold and windy days have caused many of the petals to fall off the tree, but while in full bloom many children were excited about the idea of creating their own magnolia tree representations. As a group, Benji, Lily, and William agreed that to begin their magnolia tree drawings, they should first start with the tree trunk and branches.
Unsure how to draw the magnolia blossoms, William thought to collect a few petals from the ground and then used these to implement a tracing technique to create some of the magnolia flowers in his drawing! Magnolia Tree Illustrations the Coat of Leaves
Thank you to everyone who came to join us today as the children gifted their incredible coat of leaves to the "biggest" empty tree in front of our school. This was such a special project guided by lots of love and empathy for our beloved neighborhood trees!
