First and second grade artists looked at several of Gustav Klimt's forest paintings. We learned that Klimt loved to spend time in the forests around his town. Click here to read more about Klimt's forest paintings and see others. 

We used masking tape to create trees in our forests and painted them with warm and cool colors.
