Torn Paper Trees

Texture is the focus of this project.  Students tore paper against the grain to create organic-shaped branches.  Students had a choice of making either a winter tree with snow or a Christmas tree with ornaments.  No straight edges allowed on this project!  The hardest part was arranging the branches from smallest to largest to create a triangluar tree.

1. Start with a trunk.

2. Add branches.

3.  Add decorations!
