Gustav Klimt Art Project. Despite the detailed elegance of Gustav Klimt’s “Tree of Life” painting, this quick, calming art lesson can be completed in under an hour.

Gustav Klimt Art Project

You’ll need metallic paint for this project. I used Sargent Metallic Tempera paint but other brands work just as well. There is a quality to the metallic paints that makes the paint glide over the paper. It’s quite lovely and the children enjoy the process. Start by painting the trunk of the tree. Use some white tempera paint (I neglected to add that supply in the list!) The final step is to use black paint to outline all of the tree branches. This lesson is a great way for children to use their own creativity and style to create a piece of art all their own.
