Tree of the Seasons

Celebrate the changing seasons through art and observation as students learn about the four seasons and how nature transforms with each. After exploring the pointillism painting technique and the artists who used it, learners apply tiny dots of color to depict a single tree across all four seasons. Through careful attention to color blending and visual texture, students illustrate the transitions from spring to summer to fall to winter in a single cohesive artwork. This lesson beautifully combines science and art, helping students appreciate both Earth’s cycles and the expressive power of color and technique.
