5th Grade - Gustav Klimt Inspired Tree of Life

5th Graders painted Klimt-inspired trees.  Class discussion focused on symmetry, positive/negative space and pattern as it applies in art.  Discussion also focused on where in the Bible the Tree of Life is mentioned.  Students copied one of the following verses around their tree:
Proverbs 11:30 -
"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and the one who is wise saves lives."
Revelation 2:7 -
"Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God."
Revelation 22:14 -
“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city."
