How to Draw a Tree

David LaRochelle, illustrated by Colleen Muske

A child learns that drawing a tree begins by getting to know it. The process calls for looking at the tree nearby and from a distance, and using touch, smell, and listening as well as sight. Attention to leaves, colors, shape, and texture reveals what makes a particular tree distinct. Those observations then become material for words and artwork, introducing the tree to others through a drawing.
