  1. Vincent Van Gogh’s Trees

  2. Van Gogh created many beautiful paintings of trees. In these paintings he shows us the uniqueness of each tree, how trees change with the seasons and the time of day.

  3. This painting is the motivation for this lesson. You can view Van Gogh’s Mulberry Tree in the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena.

  4. Noticehow tree trunks are large and textured. As the tree grows the branches reach for sunlight. The leaves grow on the branches. The branches become thinner as the tree becomes taller.

  5. Notice how Van Gogh uses many colors to create the texture and shadows on his tree trunks.

  6. The seasons: winter, spring, summer and fall bring changes to the trees. Notice the changes in these orchards with each season.

  7. Notice the beautiful pastel colors of the blossoms in the spring and the lackof green leaves.

  8. Notice the different kinds of leaves in the numerous trees that Van Gogh painted. He used many shades, tints and hues of green for the variety of leaves.

  9. As fall approaches the leaves start to turn yellow, orange, red and brown.

  10. Some trees, like the Cypress and pine, are evergreen. The needles of these trees stay green all through the year.

  11. Van Gogh painted many layers of paint to achieve all the colors he saw reflected in the trees. Depending on the sunlight, the shadows and the time of day tree leaves appear to be many different colors.

  12. Notice how Van Gogh included a foreground and background in all his paintings.

  14. Step One:Put your name and table number on the back of your paper with pencil.

  15. Decide what species of tree you will create. Think about the season-summer, winter, spring or fall; and time of day-morning, noon or sunset. Think about where your tree is located. . . In a park, a yard, on a farm, in an orchard, in the mountains, in the woods or at the beach. . . . .

  16. Create the leaves of your tree by layering colors appropriate for the season.Winter- dark greens, browns, blues, grays, violets and white for snow.Spring- bright pinks, whites, peach, yellow, violets for flowersSummer- all shades of green especially bright greens and yellowsFall- warm colors orange, yellow, red, and brown

  17. Draw the trunk of the tree. Layer colors to create the texture and thickness of the bark and lower branches of your tree. Place darker colors like purple and dark blue or black on one side to create shadow. Use bright colors like tan, white or yellow on the opposite side to create the highlighted side reflecting the sun light.

  18. Add objects to create a foreground.

  19. Add a background- like mountains, ocean, buildings, farm lands, smaller trees, houses, people, hills, fields…
