(KG) Looking at the Branches of Trees (The Tree Project)

For this part of the Tree Project the students looked at photos of trees  I Heard A Forest Praying  and created compositions using the branches we collected from our nature trail.

  3. Gorgeous results again!!!

    Are they using glue in a bottle or a hot glue gun? Any trouble with the branches staying put?

  4. Shannah,

    We used Wood glue and regular Elmer's glue.
    It took two days for the brunches to stay put.
